Are you sure you have those preferences on FC5?
I see the same thing as the OP. The gnome dictionary application ( has
two tabs in the preferences window: Source, which allows me to choose
from multiple dictionary servers, and Print, which allows me to choose
the font for printing. Looking up a misspelled word gives me the error
"Error while looking up definition: No definitions found for 'word'".
Yes, these are 2 tabs I see. If I misspell something I get a pop-up
that says:
"Error while looking up definition"
