I would envision a solution having two parts here:
- some framework in GtkEntry/GtkTextView to support spellchecking
- a module which makes use of the framework. The module could
  use Enchant, GtkSpell or any other spell-checking library
- the module could be loaded desktop-wide, by using the gtk-modules
  setting that was introduced for this purpose a while ago.

Maybe thats a totally wrong approach, I haven't thought too long
about it.
