If the gnome-utils package (which contains gnome-dictionary) is not installed,
the deskbar-applet will still show the dictionary plugin as present and allow
the user to enable it.  However, when enabled it does nothing since
gnome-dictionary is required for the plugin to function.  It would be nice if
there could either be

a) a warning message displayed when attempting to enable the plugin if
gnome-dictionary is not present, or
b) a check for the 'spell' use flag in the deskbar-applet ebuild that would
either install gnome-utils as a dependency or prevent the dictionary plugin
from being built/shown.

Fixed with 2.16.2-r2, sorry for the delay.
