[Bug 80725] gnome-dictionary won't use dictd at localhost

[Sami Nybacka]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

gnome-dictionary > edit > preferences: Add new dictionary source:

transport: dictionary server
hostname: localhost
port: 2628

Click Add: new entry accepted, but when opened again, it shows
"dict.org" as a hostname, instead of localhost. Same thing happens when
using 127.0.0.1 for example.

When adding, I got following warning on the terminal:
** (gnome-dictionary:5967): WARNING **: Invalid transport

It seems that source was saved just right, gnome-dictionary just won't use it:
 > cat .gnome2/gnome-dictionary/source-1169296563-5771.desktop

[Dictionary Source]
Name=source-1169296563-5771
Description=local
Transport=dictd
Hostname=localhost
Port=2628

I have dictd working ok from shell, the following for example works just fine:
dictl -h localhost -p 2628 test

Dapper did not have this problem.

** Affects: gnome-utils (Ubuntu)
