someone makes a word search with gnome-dictionnary, then the program just hangs
(This is easily noticeable with Compiz, the window
The problem seems to be that users have no initiative to install 'dictd'
when they're on-line and can't download it when they're off-line, simply
because they can't download it when they need it.
