The problem with Finnish/Voikko is that once an instance of EnchantDict has
been created from Voikko provider, it must be disposed before new one can be
created. Since the inline spell checking in Evolution uses one instance and
the spell checking dialog tries to create another without disposing the
first, it will fail. To fix this, either libvoikko or Enchant Voikko provider
must be improved to allow more than one simultaneous EnchantDict instance to
be created.
So there is nothing wrong with this patch to gnome-spell, the issue is
elsewhere. I do not see any regressions compared to the original gnome-spell
(languages supported by Aspell seem to work as before). Working inline spell
checking for Finnish is a nice improvement, even if the separate dialog could
not (yet) be used with Finnish.
