 Thanks for your report.  I reproduced your error by configuring a
 server with an incorrect address, and doing a query, and it resulted
 in a popup dialog:
    Error while retrieving the definition
    Échec de la recherche pour l'hôte « bar':Erreur inconnue
 the popup had no title but had the gdict icon, and appeared centered
 over the gnome-dictionary window.  It was also modal to the
 gnome-dictionary window (I couldn't interact with the gnome-dictionary
 window until I validated the popup).

 I think this behavior is consistent with other applications, but
 perhaps the handling of this situation has been been enhance between
 the version where you reported the bug (2.12) and mine (2.14).

 Would you please try to reproduce as I proposed?  Do you still consider
 this behavior to be insufficient?

   Thanks,
