Dictionary pops up a dialog if a word isn't found in the dictionary

Bug Description

When looking up a word that doesn't exist in the dictionary that is found under Applications/Accessories/Dictionary a dialog is opened. The expected behavior is that there shouldn't be a dialog, since useless dialogs are evil. Instead you could display the information in the area that shows word definitions.

Is this with Dapper? I get no dialog with edgy, just an error message where the definition is supposed to appear.

This was with Dapper's LiveCD before installing.

Confirmed on a dapper CD, works fine on edgy, marking as fixed. Feel free to reopen if you get the issue again with edgy
