GD 1.0.1 on Linux Fedora 15,

It used to work fine before (I guess). The images don't display anymore.

I use
http://en.wikipedia.org/w
http://fr.wikipedia.org/w

Prefs > Newtork > disallow content ... is unchecked.

Right: Images display as placeholders.

Image

Red square: I am using random country flags. I would like to use the Wikipedia icons. What's the path, on Linux, of the Wikipedia GD icons. Thanks.

Version 1.0.1 is too old. This bug and a lot of others have already been fixed. Check viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1471
You have to wait until we get a new release or build from source http://goldendict.org/buildfromgit.php

Hello, effectively, I have read a few threads about the issue, after posting. Sure, I'll wait.
What's the path to the wikipedia icon?

As far as I know, icons are included as resources in the goldendict executable. But, fortunately, if you want to use the wikipedia icon included in the program file as an icon for a group you can do it:
1) Edit > Dictionaries > Groups.
2) Select or create a group.
3) Click in the "Group Icon" drop down. You found there the country flags and also the Wikipedia icon under "Wiki" option. If you want to use any other icon, you can select "From file.." option.
