Beats me. :-) The new UI has been introduced since gnome-utils 2.13.4; the application should look something like this: http://log.emmanuelebassi.net/images/shots/gnome-dictionary-new.png with support for multiple windows; the applet should look something like this: http://log.emmanuelebassi.net/images/shots/dictionary-comparison.png but there is only one window per applet, and the window is "sticky" (attached to the panel, like the gnome-blog applet). There has been a lot of sligh UI changes and fixes going on, but the overall look of the dictionary is this since the end of December.
