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,
