I can't promise that for KDE 2.2.

Sure, 'dcop kdict default definePhrase "hello"' works already:

void quit()
void makeActiveWindow()
void definePhrase(QString phrase)
void matchPhrase(QString phrase)
void defineClipboardContent()
void matchClipboardContent()
QStringList getDatabases()
QString currentDatabase()
QStringList getStrategies()
QString currentStrategy()
bool setDatabase(QString db)
bool setStrategy(QString strategy)
bool historyGoBack()
bool historyGoForward()

I use it for the panel applet that comes with Kdict 0.5.

Greetings
Christian
