When you configure either gspell or gtkspell, the "Spelling" toolbar button is a toggle button tied to the 
SpellCheckActive property. The Edit=>Check Spelling menu item has the same role.

With the internal spell-checker, those controls are just requests to pop up the spell-checker dialog, not 
toggle actions.

HTH!
