Thanks. I just learned that there's also KDict which does maybe 50-%80% of 
what my patch would do (and other things)... Now I'm not sure anymore what 
to do at all.

I have a new version of my patch which does parse the output of "wn". This 
way no compile time configuration is required.

If ispell isn't installed, how does KSpell handle that? Maybe the same 
behaviour would be appropriate for wordnet, too. 

The fix for wordnet 1.6 is very simple, if we want to waste KDE's 
bandwidth we could put "wordnet 1.6 kde" on our servers :-) Even if we use 
the API I'd need help because you're getting back strange C data 
structures.

Mhhhh... this is all very complicated. Also I won't have much time in the 
near future. I suggest the following:

1.) I'll mail the Wordnet people if they can make a new release, 
explaining our problems.

2.) Can you ask the Mandrake lawyers about the wordnet license?

This way at least some questions will be answered, even if the answers 
won't tell us what to do :-)

Regards
 Daniel
