[gentoo-user] spell checking using kile under gnome

[W.Kenworthy]

I am using kile under gnome to edit latex files.  Its ok, but I am
having problems with the spell checker - it works and does the job
except it cant "add to dictionary" so once I restart kile, I have to
start again with every discrepancy picked up by the spell checker.

I suspect its because of using it under gnome there is no way to set a
personal dictionary. Ive installed kcontrol which is apparently what you
use in KDE to set the dictionaries, but I cant see how to set a personal
dictionary.  Maybe I need to install/run a full kde to set it? - then
will it stay set under gnome?

Any help appreciated!

I know nothing about kile, and little about latex, but I notice that
gedit does have a LaTeX highlighting mode in the View::Highlighting::
Markup:: menu.  Would that work for you?

kile to gedit is like openoffice to dos edit!

I'd rather not ...

I have in the past (KDE3, I think) tried installing KControl in order  
to manage preferences for a KDE app running outside of a KDE  
environment (Knode via SSH / X11 - running on my headless Linux  
server, displaying on my Mac) but it didn't install any modules when I  
tried it. Some package(s) other than KControl seemed to provide those,  
and I never found out what it was.

I think your best bet might be to try that.
