I thought this setting is the default only? Anyway, it's activated there and
in KMail. I have German and American English as preferred languages.
I just created a fresh test account, activated spell checking and tried in
KMail. Same result, no spell checking. Even when I choose Extras -> Spell
check, nothing happens.
I don't worry much about this though. It's just one more bug I experience.
I'll ask on the Gentoo-User list if people there have similar experiences...
but hey, Duncan just also replied, so I'll reply to his mail instead.

I do the same except for revdep-rebuild which I do not run that often sinde
Gentoo's preserved-rebuild feature. It usually finds it has noting to do
anyway.
Update: I just started a new mail message, and suddenly the automatic spell
checking works! I had changed the default from American English to German
before. When I select English again, it's not working.
On the test account, it's still not working. I have only the German language
to choose there, although American English is enabled in systemsettings.
The KMail composing window also looks different on that account. There I
have 'Dictionary', 'To', and 'Subject', here on my normal account I have
'Identity', 'Reply-To', 'To', 'Copy' and 'Subject'.
Whatever. It's not an important feature for me.
