To me the gnome-dictionary in FC5 is regressing.. There is much less dictionaries groups I can select: 3 items (call them dict groups?) are available, no precision about what is the "default" dict server contents.. and no more list of dicts as it was present w/ FC3. And less settings too (for instance the matching strategy). BTW, the strategy setting appears in gconf-editor, but who knows what values are legal (but "exact")? Regards, -- wwp
