Short version: Make sure you REALLY exit Zim after installing GTKSpell packages if you expect Zim to notice and then enable the Spell Checker.
Details: I could not figure out why I was getting the usual "gtkspell - Failed" in the stock Zim 0.60 in Linux Mint 17. I did: sudo aptitude install python-gtkspell aspell-en And after that "import gtkspell" worked in the stock Python 2.7.6, but Zim still gave me "gtkspell - Failed". It turns out the "Tray Icon" plugin was enabled (I usually turn that off), so every time I "exited" Zim to see if the packages I'd installed worked, Zim never really exited, so I never really restarted it, so it never saw the new packages. Sigh. REALLY exiting Zim and restarting naturally worked. FYI for Google and next time...
