Bug Description

When I installed Texmaker, it started using a dictionary /usr/share/myspell/dicts/en_GB.dic it should have used a dictionary from /usr/share/hunspell/ (ideally, it would have used, /usr/share/hunspell/en_US.dic since that is my default locale.)

See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ConsolidateSpellingLibs

Just changing the default path will work. Texmaker is now working fine using /usr/share/hunspell/en_US.dic

I'm using: Ubuntu 12.04.1

texmaker package 3.2-1

This is actually a decision made by the Debian packagers, but I think it should be changed. The default directory for dictionaries should be /usr/share/hunspell.
