Hi folks, GtkSpell lacks some features and I've been aware of the lack for years -- even since the GTK < 2 days. I haven't had the time to work on GtkSpell and so finally, rather than stifling it by hanging on too tightly, I found a new maintainer, who has done a great job of making incremental releases (including, from a glance at the ChangeLog, perhaps fixing the tagtable bug that Alex mentioned).
But he appears to also be busy. This project is a superficially simple one but also has had enough eyeballs (see Pango bug 97545, which I logged and worked around back in 2002 -- maybe it's since been fixed? again, the GtkSpell ChangeLog indicates otherwise) that it ought to be a great project for someone looking into adding some lower-in-the-stack functionality that would benefit a lot of projects. Or, another way of saying it: contributors welcome.
