Pidgin spellcheck problem in Kubuntu 9.04

I ran into a weird spellcheck problem with pidgin in kubuntu 9.04. Pidgin uses the gtkspell library, but it kept telling me every word was spelled wrong. If I ran it with
LANG=en_US pidgin

Everything worked fine. I didn't find much on the net, but installing aspell seems to have fixed the problem... somewhere o.O.
