I have Kdict as an applet in the panel on my desktop. Type a word in the applet, press enter, and get a window with the word's definitions, conjugational and grammatical variant forms, and linguistic derivations. A wonderful little KDE program, which has saved me from many (though not all) mistakes.
Maybe they don't have something like this for gnome?:-).
