As the author of SexySpellEntry/xchat-gnome, here are my (biased) suggestions:
1. Use a subclass of GtkEntry -- not only does this make porting easier (since SexySpellEntry is implemented as such), but most of the entry boxes inside UIs don't need spell-checking. There are some improvements I'd like to make if porting SexySpellEntry directly, which I'm happy to talk about with interested parties. 2. Include a standard language picker widget. Lots of applications are going to want this, and it's going to become messy if people can't just drop in something. This has applications beyond spell-checking too. I personally feel that it's nicest to check words in the union of selected languages, so that users don't have to micro-manage settings for each UI element that they may potentially be typing in. 3. Merge the backend for the spell-entry and textview spellers. GtkSpell3 (currently only in cvs) shares a lot of similarity with SexySpellEntry, and it was always my intention to merge them together. There's an opportunity to do some nice spell-context API for extending spell checking facilities into custom widgets too. -David _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
