[PATCH] 2.6.16.18 - spelling fix

[-- Attachment #1: Type: TEXT/PLAIN, Size: 238 bytes --]

I was experimenting with Linux SW raid today and found a spelling error 
when reading the help menus...

Patch attached, not sure if this is the right place to send it or if 
patches go to Andrew Morton (misc ones like this)...

Thanks....
but more helpful than a spelling fix would be a chunk of elisp that I
could stick in my .emacs, which would automatically turn on flyspell
mode in Kconfig files, and inside comments in .c and .h files.

The first bit is probably trivial.  The second has got to be
possible...

Or maybe just keep posting patches like this in the hope of shaming
people like me into learning how to spell....

;-)

Thanks.

Seems easy enough.... doesn't work for me :-(

Further exploration shows that I need font-lock mode enabled for it to
highlight speeling errors for me, and I never could get used to seeing
my C code look like a Disco.

It seems that flyspell-prog-mode absolutely requires font-lock as it
uses the font-lock tags to detect which text to spell check.

So I guess I need to tell font-lock that all the different text types
should be displayed in the same font.

Why is it never easy?

Thanks.

Well, it's not that hard.

(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 '(global-font-lock-mode t nil (font-lock))
 '(show-trailing-whitespace t))
(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 '(font-lock-builtin-face ((((class color) (background light)) nil)))
 '(font-lock-comment-face ((((class color) (background light)) nil)))
 '(font-lock-constant-face ((((class color) (background light)) nil)))
 '(font-lock-function-name-face ((((class color) (background light)) nil)))
 '(font-lock-keyword-face ((((class color) (background light)) nil)))
 '(font-lock-string-face ((((class color) (background light)) nil)))
 '(font-lock-type-face ((((class color) (background light)) nil)))
 '(font-lock-variable-name-face ((((class color) (background light)) nil))))

The bold-red for trailing white space is possibly a little too much
... but maybe that is a good thing?

Maybe I'll make feewer typoes now.
