I've just tested under OOo-1.9.95 on a number of Linux systems, and the problem
has actually gotten *worse*.

Prior to 1.9.95, in the dialog:

Options ==> Language Settings ==> Languages

I could at least see the results of a successful English ( Australian )
dictionary installation, even if I couldn't actually select the language in
'writing tools'. Now installation isn't even accomplished. It works under
Windows 2000 with OOo-1.9.95.

I don't want to sound like a spoilt brat jumping up and down and threatening to
'go back to Microsoft Office'. It would be an absolute tragedy, however, if
OOo-2 went final with spell checking so horribly broken ... and this ( moving
back to Microsoft Office ) is exactly what will happen if, as with the 1.0
release, spell checking is not functional. When combined with
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3310 OOo is complely unusable on
anything other than Windows in the default language ... and let me point out
once more that the default language has been wandering from English (US) to
English (UK) to Danish! ( see above comments )

Seriously, a word processor *needs* a functional spell checker.
