Panel dictionary plasma widget for KDE4

***Panel-dictionary plasmoid****

Written by Alan D Moore, http://www.alandmoore.com (me AT alandmoore D0T com)

This plasmoid is an attempt to emulate the kde3 "kdict" panel plugin, though notslavishly so. I just wanted several things that were missing from KDE4's built-in dictionary, namely:

  • ability to configure the server
  • text box in the panel
  • popup window with definition for easier copying/etc.

Because of unfortunate limitations to the dict data engine in KDE 4.3, I have provided alternate backends; namely, python-dictclient and dict command line client. I highly recommend python-dictclient. I know it's available in Ubuntu and Debian, probably your distro packages it as well.

This is my first attempt at a plasmoid, so expect bugs. Please email me about any bugs you find.

Thanks and may God bless you!
