Don't know for sure if this is related or what you are looking for but this is what I had to do in evolution to get spelling to work. Like yourself I had all packages installed but I could not get spell checking to work. http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/2004-December/041169.html
As it states this is not a fix as you can not add any 'user defined' words (hangs the entire system hard) but it will do basic spell checking.
