Well that turned out to be that if "Consider run-together words as spelling 
errors" was off (the default), ispell considered my _obviously misspelt_ words 
to be correct so kwrite does seem to work.

In the process of looking at this I did replace kdelibs3/patches/patch-cc with 
the attached which I'll probably commit tomorrow once I confirm what effect it 
actually had.

Now looking at kword if I spellcheck individual words it seems to work ok.
Also if I spellcheck selections that DONT span multiple lines it seems to work 
ok.  If the selection spans multiple lines (or the whole document) it quickly 
pops up and then down the dialog box multiple times possibly ending with it up
on some incorrectly spelt word (not necessarily the first or last) or not up 
at all.

cheers
mark
