User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Fedora/1.0.4-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.4

Fedora Core 3 installs additional dictionaries in /usr/libs/ which cannot be
written to unless logged on as root. Therefore a User cannot install an
additional dictionary.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Downloaded uk dictionary
2.Installed through Extension Window
3.Install said "succesful"
4.restarted Thunderbird


Actual Results:  
No uk dictionary available in spell check options

Expected Results:  
uk dictionary should have appeared in spell check options
I thought that they were installed together with the program, not in /usr/libs.
