Bug Description
Firefox and gedit use two different spell checking dictionaries to which the user can add words manually. The user has to add some new words twice, separately in each application.
Firefox and gedit should use a single user dictionary instead.

This is due to the fact that they use different spell engines:
- gedit (and pidgin) use aspell
- firefox (and thunderbird and openoffice) use hunspell
