Thanks for the report and the offer,

The problem here is that the default behavior should be to refresh emacs
spellcheck pop-up menu on calling the above code, so it shows the really
available dictionaries, and the optional one not to do that, at least in X
environments. If I am not wrong, ~/.emacs is loaded last, so I do not think
that can be done straighforward from ~/.emacs at the stage it is loaded.

Thinking again about this, some sort of final hook might be useful, provided
it is available for both emacs and xemacs. Do you think that after-init-hook
would be appropriate for this?

Cheers,
