Yap, there's no good way to solve it. The way it's setup right is that 
it expects synchronous behavior from checkWord which it will never have 
with kprocio and ispell binary. We could make kospell aspell plugin 
asynchronous, but that would take us to the start since getting 
asynchronous answers in on-the-fly spellchecking is bound to fail.

So please don't bother with it. During the last year I took every 
complain people had about kspell and kospell and fixed all them in the 
form of kspell2. The only thing that's missing there right now is a 
simple configuation dialog for preferred language, which I'll put in 
today. Tomorrow I'll start switching koffice to it. What would be a lot 
more helpful right now to me is having people try kspell2 and let me 
know how the examples work for them. I'd also like to hear some 
opinions on where individual files of kspell2 should go to, since so 
far no one bothered to give it some thought.

Zack
