Are you on Windows? Maybe this is true there. However, on Linux, I set up Aspell the way I wanted it, in the various languages I needed spelling checks for (many more of which are available on Linux than on Windows), and both LyX and OpenOffice.org Writer (as well as all my other Linux applications) use it when I do a spelling check. The whole thing works a lot better than the redundancy in Windows of expecting each word processing program to provide its own spelling checkers or adding to the bloat by keeping a 3rd-party spelling checker in TSR.
