For me, it also works inside the float (1.3.6cvs).

that would be all-insets-toggle.

Dunno. But anyway, this menu entry is no more in 1.4cvs.

An error dialog (see attached screenshot). And the context of the chosen error 
is marked in the text (which is currently broken btw).

Don't think so (you still can compile --with-pspell).

I think gnu aspell has superceeded ispell for a lot of languages now, but 
there might still be languages that are not supported well (or at all) by 
aspell. In any case, it is good to have the choice.

I think that (gnu) aspell does not use this option (it uses the personal 
dictionary ~/.aspell.<lang>.pws by default). This might as well count for 
other spellchecker options. Don't know.
