How to get flyspell-mode back to work

After upgrading to Fedora 11, flyspell-mode on emacs stopped working. it seems that this is a known bug. a workaround to get this back to work would be to install aspell again and write the following emacs lisp into your .emacs:

(setq inhibit-default-init t)
(setq ispell-program-name "aspell")
