dictl?
So you want a list of dictionaries and select several of them? Hmm, the
DICT protocol doesn't allow to specify multiple dictionaries with the
define command, so I has to do one query for every selected dictionary.
I think the easier way is, if you use your own dict server, to define a
virtual dictionary that contains these dictionaries you want to search
and then in the proerties of the plugin you choose this virtual
dictionary. Just an idea.

Oops, yes. Didn't tested it with greater sizes, my panel has "only"
24pixel ;-).

Yes, I'll right align the string so it is closer to the entry widget.

Ok.

Thanks for your remarks.

And I just noticed, searching for a word which doesn't exist in the used
dictionaries freezes the plugin. Oops, I knew why I've written it has
alpha state...
