Gedit has a spellcheck (I think recently added). Strangely, it does not recognise the word Stallman!
But then, 'Sasi' or 'Kumar' too are not recognised!!!!
An, surprise!!! surprise!!! 'Mahesh', 'Pai', and 'paivakil' *are*(1)
If you think this a bug, please report it to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gedit
Seriously, IMHO, it is not really a bug with gedit. Gedit uses an external plugin written by somebodyelse to do spell check, and the plug in relies on a dictionary created by yet somebody else. So, may be, you should change the dictionary!!!
(1) I added these words to my private dictionary.
