No, the keystrokes each input one 'character', and the grouping into glyphs
only happens during painting [unlike when entering chinese].
So the spellchecker is given the raw characters... obviously, since that's
the only thing unicode can express. I think the whole problem here is
rather in the spell-checkers (ispell/aspell) or their configuration in koffice
(using the right encoding, e.g. utf-8)
