The spell-checker is working, as the words which are mispelled are underlined
with the red jagged line.
However, in the popup menu, there is no menu item that allows you to make the
correction.

I verified that libgtkspell is installed. In the preferences, Greek is ticked
for spelling correction. The same goes
with the individual window setting for spelling correction.

It appears that rectangle in which you can right-click to get the spelling
correction option for Greek,
is somehow to small, so one cannot get it to appear. I tried right-clicking
around the mispelled greek word,
but without success. As if the rectangle has zero dimensions.

It appears that other languages would be affected by this. Anyone with cyrillic,
arabic, ???

If someone has garnome or jhbuild with GNOME 2.10, they could test this issue to
see whether
it's a configuration issue with Ubuntu or an upstream problem.

I am attaching some screenshots for demonstration purposes.

So far, two users have noticed this issue (for one languag, Greek).
