emacs-ispell ettings belongs to these things.

Perhaps we have some further influence by system settings I made to get
Euro sign working.

    ~> set | grep -i iso-8859
    GDM_LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-1
    ~> grep -v "#" /etc/locale.gen
    de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15
    de_DE ISO-8859-1

but in prinziple I doubt that this has an influence here.
