Looks to me that OSX just does *not* start the appropriate executable

in (who

Arg! Stupid me... I really should have tried this one!
Sometimes searching for bugs makes you blind in the sense of not seeing
obvious things like this.
I looked for a process named AppleSpell ('ps -auxwww|grep -i spell') or
something because I thought there had to be a daemon running which
handles AppleSpell but there seems to be no such process.
Anyway it seems to be a bug that a self made spell service doesn't get
launched. Of course one could write a startup-script but I'd like to
able to provide a shrinkwrapped service bundle that could be installed
simply by dragging it to Library/Services.
Apple: is this a bug or a feature?
