Thanks, Now I know how to do that.

Next question, if I might.

gdict _is_ installed, but I can't seem to find the dictionary look up
applet in the Gnome menus anywhere. Is tehre a way to add a given aplet
without having to search through all those menus? Or can anyone point me to
the correct place in the maze of menus?

Thanks.
