I'll e-mail him to see what he has to say.

Sorry about that.  Still learning this Gideon (KDevelop 3.0) tool. 
Please try again now.  The URL is

  http://home.comcast.net/~garycramblitt/oss/kclipspellapplet-0.1.tar.gz

The KDick applet consumes a fair amount of kicker panel space.  Looks
like about 4 times the width of my spellcheck button.  If I'm a user who
wants spellchecking capability, but not dictionary, I have to pay a
large screen real-estate price.

Thanks for you input.
