gaim & gtkspell

[Francisco Borges <frandebo@latt.if.usp.br>]

I'm running Sarge and I've started using gaim but I can't get the
underlying gtkspell machinery to perform the spelling for dutch. I start
gaim with a script:  

export LANG="nl_NL"
gaim

and I do have nl_NL as an available locale, all gaim text is now in
dutch but there is no spellchecking and my gaim prefs.xml contains the
line: <pref name='spellcheck' type='bool' value='1' /> so spell scheking
should be on. 

Any ideas on why this is failing?

peace.
