Description Joe McDevitt 2002-11-23 00:27:31 UTC 
With the gdict-applet added to the panel, everytime that I login,
gnome-dictionary launches.  The Word field is blank but the check spelling
window tries to lookup "/gnome-dictionary-00PyJu/".  I can close the
windows and gdict-applet works fine otherwise.

This may be related to bug 91207 but that bug referenced
gnome-utils-2.0.2-1 and is marked fixed.  I have gnome-utils-2.1.2 installed.

Can you do a quick grep of ~/.gnome2/ and tell me where
gnome-dictionary-00PyJu is coming from? I'm a bit confused about this one.
Comment 2 Joe McDevitt 2002-12-13 00:31:12 UTC 
Results of grep:

.gnome2/session:8,CloneCommand=gnome-dictionary --sm-config-prefix
/gnome-dictionary-00PyJu/ 
.gnome2/session:8,RestartCommand=gnome-dictionary --sm-config-prefix
/gnome-dictionary-00PyJu/ --sm-client-id

Comment 3 George Lebl 2003-01-13 07:26:46 UTC 
the gnome-dictionary was saved in the session and that's why it's
launching.  However the problem with looking up garbage I just fixed
in CVS, it was doing very evil things with the command line, probably
got saved in your session when you first launched it and left a window
open.

GEORGE, YOU ROCK.
Comment 5 Reinout van Schouwen 2003-06-21 22:10:27 UTC 
Is this really fixed? This problem is still getting dupes on 2.2 and
XD2 (like bug 115223).
