If this is solved maybe bug 123720 (turn off spell checking in knode) will be solved, too?

I have played around with spell checking in KDE4.3.2 debian/sid. Before this spell checking was somehow disabled. Now I am really annoyed by all the red marked words when typing texts. I would like to turn spell checking off completely. I am using both german and english texts to often, sometimes mixed (english words in german texts) so spell checking is difficult. Also I do not understand when texts are autocorrected and when not. When writing this report auto correction did stop after some words. In knode it did not.

I have tried to turn off auto spell checking manually, but it did not help. Also uninstalling aspell-dictionaries did not help?!

Is this the right configuration to disable autospelling?
.kde(4)/share/config/sonnetrc
[Spelling]
backgroundCheckerEnabled=false

.kde(4)/share/config/knoderc
[Spelling]
backgroundCheckerEnabled=false

Thanks,
Gert
