You are probably right. I don't use KDE, so I can't check this right
away, but I'll look into it at some point. Could you please file the
issue at http://code.google.com/p/writertools/issues/list Thank you!

Read the supplied WriterToolsUserGuide.html file.

I know that, but I had a good reason not to use this technique. I just
don't remember what the reason was. :-)

Thank you for your kind offer. I haven't yet figured out the best way
to do localization, but I'll keep your offer in mind.

Both the WriterToolsUserGuide.html and the Writer's Tools Manual (link
in the signature) explain how to add online references to the Lookup
Tool. I'll add the LEO dictionary in the next release of Writer's
Tools.

Yes, but the built-in Send Document feature relies on an external
email client. The Email Backup tool uses a Python script instead.

Once again, thank you very much for your ideas and suggestions!

Kind regards,
Dmitri
