Yes Yes, I have all of this but nothing "pops up" like all other apps
to facilite word replacement. The mistakes are marked in red, but no
too_function to replace. I have to manually find the correct spelling
and type it in.  Did I miss a flag or config file?

Every other app works just fine with spell checking, including firefox,
but seamonkey only marks the errors; no visable selection-replacement mechanism.

All of your settings (flags) and packages install are the same, except
Italian.

I have
aspell-ed, myspell-en, aspell hunspell and gtkspell too.

It's just the replacement function in seamonkey. Are you sure I do
not have to install some "add_on" to get that working? I've looke and
looked and do not know what I'm missing...........
