An interesting point: how to proceed when a word has a lot of synonyms, e.g. the
english word "house". Word only displays a fixed number of synonyms that seem to
be a result of an arbitrary selection (or may be the first 8 words, regardless
how many different meanings the word can have). Here's the result in Word 2003:

"home": home, residence, dwelling, abode, domicile, address, quarters
"accomodation": accomodation, building, ... (19 more results)
"family": ... (5 results)
"company": ... (5 results)
"accomodate": ... (6 results)

In the context menu it displays all synonyms of the first meaning and the first
one of the second. Doesn't look like a concept to me.

So what about OOo? We could 

- do it like Word
- only show the "category" synonym (home, accomodation, family, company,
accomodate")
- make each category synonym a popup menu itself, showing the list of synonyms
assigned to that category
- show all synonyms in one popup, separated by category
- ... ?

I would like to move that discussion to d...@ux.openoffice.org, but wanted to
make sure that all people interested in this issue are aware of that.
