Comment 3 for bug 487489

Mostly because we're just masking away the real problem.

If I had the time, I'd go digging around and find out why gtkspell is raising an exception. Unfortunately, the end of the semester is creeping up on me and I don't have the time.

So I can live without spell-checking. So far, it doesn't seem like this little patch has broken anything else, but it may still be to early to tell.
