Comment 12 for bug 341655

Did you guys consider using pyenchant (http://pyenchant.sourceforge.net/) instead of gtkspell? It also provides gtk widgets, seems easy to use and is packaged in most distributions, but does not depend on the whole Gnome stack as python-gnome2-extras does. This would keep gtg as light as it currently is.

 I have no idea on how much work it would require to port Pititjo's branch to use enchant though. Just my two cents.
