As Havoc points out, there is already a spell check widget.  Nobody
uses it yet (and it isn't quite finished, either).

There actually is an address book under development.  It is part of
`aorta' (which is an organizer, I believe).


I actually think that for some tools (and both these examples fit into
this category, in my book) we ought to focus on designing CORBA
interfaces and not commit ourselves to particular implementations.

Unfortunately, it doesn't make much sense to work on this until our
CORBA implementation is actually usable.  Bummer.
