    Best / most likely prospect is a version from dotdeb.org, which will probably be forthcoming fairly soon, I imagine.

    stardict files are not completely trivial to create yourself.

    The simplest solution is to create a tab-delimited file of the format:

    If you want it always on the desktop, why do you want it as a widget? Sounds to me like you precisely *don't* want it on the widget layer at all.

    Re: Panel slow to open and network flaky

    Argh - gnome-panel is sooo flaky!

    frequently it takes ages, or doesn't start. (I actually have a keyboard shortcut to restart the panel, it's that frequent a problem).

    [gnome] Re: Alternative to alacarte?

    I totally agree with this. Alacarte really sucks. It is far and away my least favourite thing about Gnome (and, therefore, about Ubuntu). It has pretty much the worst usability of any Gnome program...

    Your error is because you are missing some software which you need to compile the drivers.
