Public bug reported:
python gtkspell is a gtk module.
However, it is distributed in python-gnome2-extras. Hence, GTK applications
that have spell checking depend on a lot of GNOME components without this
needing to be the case.
For example: GRAMPS is a gtk app with spell checking.
Installing the python-gnome2-extra causes the install of:
The following extra packages will be installed:
gnome-media gnome-media-common gstreamer0.10-alsa gstreamer0.10-plugins-base
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
gstreamer0.10-x gvfs gvfs-backends libavc1394-0 libcamel1.2-14 libcdio-cdda0

metacity-common
python-gnome2-desktop
However, downloading the package, and doing:
sudo dpkg --force-depends -i python-
gnome2-extras_2.19.1-0ubuntu11_amd64.deb
gives fully functional spell checking in GRAMPS.
