Version: (using KDE 4.2.1) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages In kde3 I could select aspell as backend and use the old-german-spelling (apslle: de-alt). With kde4 There is no way to select a backend or to select old german spelling. Info: strace shows that “kcmshell4 spellchecking” opens libaspell, but I seems to search for ispell-dictionaries only.
