I've recommended that we don't ship it in vermillion.
Hm. As I recall, JDS (as in S10) uses jdictionary as the Dictionary; vermillion seems to ship gnome-dictionary. It's trivial to fix jdictionary to work behind a firewall (if the problem is that it doesn't pick up the http proxy, which is the problem I remember); I also used to install a default dictionary. The gnome-dictionary problem is something else (there isn't a firewall causing problmes for it here). Truss shows: openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/gdict-1.0/sources", O_RDONLY|O_NDELAY|O_LARGEFILE) Err#2 ENOENT which I suspect is what's tripping it up. I would log a bug, but if it's not going to exist then the effort may not be justified. (Although I would say that the more apps you ship the better.) -- -Peter Tribble L.I.S., University of Hertfordshire - http://www.herts.ac.uk/ http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
