> I feel that imposing a spellchecker on a user is unasked for. Checking spelling is a distinct component that might be optionally looked for, but certainly not necessary. Many people, me being one of them, would like to forgo a spellchecker and remain a minimalistic setup. Imagine if bash unconditionally shipped with a spell-checker (for filenames). It might be a contrived example, yet I'd find it equally inappropriate. Thanks for your understanding.

Keep in mind that it's up the application to decide whether or not to enable the spell checker. If you simply want to turn the spell checker off, I recommend filing a bug against the application embedding WebKitGTK+.

On the other hand, if there is an issue with the dependency itself, then perhaps we shouldn't close this bug.
