ah, well, it should be fixed in the latest version (at
least. well, I'm not sure which version was fixed in,
though) you can also try to upgrade evolution and related
packages.

Well, basically it did. but it breaks when
upgrading. although there is the way to avoid/improve this
problem, when the dictionaries will be imcompatible, the
frequency data (.cld file) won't work then. but it's better
than nothing anyway. let me try to improve it then.

Hmm, well, I experienced similar problem too. but I'm still
not sure how to reproduce that bug. if you see the
reproducible way, please file a bug to bugzilla.
