dictionary applet

Hi All!

I installed dict and it works fine in x-term. Is there an applet to put
on the desktop like gnome-dictionary-applet that is available for Gnome.
It would be nice to check the words on the desktop without firing up
x-term. Perhaps, a new search option in the search applet would be nice
(dict, besides google and wikipedia).

I can't seem to find it in the extra repositories. It's not there?

It has apparently been renamed 'mdictionary'.

Re: dictionary applet [In reply to]

I don't see mdictionary in repository either. Is it actually there?

It can be found at:
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/mdictionary/
The ' install ' link should add the appropriate repository...
However, I can't get it to actually use downloaded dictionaries.
The only dictionary program I have been able to successfully use is Sdict viewer:
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/sdictviewer/

Frustrating...

Read farther up the group - OR run yourself over to:
http://xdxf.revdanica.com/down/ problem for me is that they load, but
when searching nothing ever comes up.
