hi,
yeah the missing dictionary was the culprit (i really should have spotted that
one).
Quanta works fine with aspell.
As to my other question about kmail's address dialog, i have recompiled kdepim
but i'm still seeing the same problem (dialog so tall you can't confirm your
address selection because the button is off the bottom of the screen). I
can't find a .ui file related to that dialog so it looks like its code
generated. I don't know whats causing it and no bugs have been filed relating
to it.
I'll dig a little deeper and see if i can fix it.
Thanks for the great help.
Mark
