Description: kicker applet for ding libraries. does not require ding (but grep you can get a package of dings from the gnome-ding project (button in the config dialog) usage is simple: either hover the applet and start typing after the bar appears or select a text with the mouse and leftclick the applet supports independent default languages for the click and the type search, acces to multiple dictionaries (including thesaurus), reverse search and a nice frontend including a skinnable applet icon the most probably result is exposed, any other can be clicked to be placed in the label todo: code cleanup, kspell supportLast changelog:
0.3.1 - fix for the text formatting (on multi results) INSTALLATION: put the diff.bz2 intothe kding dir, bunzip2 it and call patch -p1 < kding-0.3-0.3.1.diff
0.3 - detection of double entries (ding dicts sometimes two entries that are identical in e.g german but different in english, in case they are the probable ones, both are displayed - try e.g. "hund") - support for custom colors - selectable and draggable text in the result label 0.2 - better detection of the most probable result - fixed thesaurus display - basic kspell support - improved positioning and sizing
When I add it to kicker kicker crashes (Kanotix/Debian Sid). BTW: There are two apps named kding. Wouldn't it be wise to communicate and either work together or rename the apps? -> http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=28386
Hello, I'd like to use this app. Compiled it and installed. Everything worked fine, but how can I start the applet.There's no entry in add applet to panel? Thanks
Just run configure with --prefix=/path/to/kde/
This helped in my case. However kding 0.3.1 crashes kicker everytime I try to insert it. I use SuSe 9.3 Professional with KDE 3.4. If you want I can submit you the backtrace.

This app looks really great :) Do you plan to release a version for KDE 3.5?

Thanks. The problem with adding kding is solved. But I got the same problem as you, kicker crashes.
