In this case perhaps a dictionary needs to be installed for the language in
use. There was a wiki page somewhere about that, just don't recall where. 

You can not make that "it is just a config thing" assumption when it comes
to Fedora on "something else" versus "XO's" where some of the rpm packages
have been altered[1][2]. 

You are on the right path when checking the .spec file in the src.rpm for
patches that are applied versus patches in the src.rpm that is available in
Fedora proper just to see what can differ. Think there was some speed issue
involved or was it some clipboard issue with other rpm patched for gtk3 at
the time.
