thanks
peter

You can right-click the toolbar area and choose to enable double-pane there.
The config file is ~/.goldendict/config. Should all else fail, you can erase the mainWindowState section there.

It IS all there, in the config file. If you can't find it, just erase that file -- that'd revert everything back to defaults.

In any event I did delete the config file, shut down the n800, powered it up and tried the application again and still had the same problem. Really strange. I deleted goldendict and haven't had the chance to re-install since last night. I will keep you posted. Thanks for your help so far...

Just open the console and do:
- Code: Select all
rm ~/.goldendict/config
This must do the trick.
