Hi,

Ahh right. Office documents also have the language specified.

There is actually a large Textcat (automatic language detection) based
patch in the bugzilla. But I did not find the time to look into that.

No, of course it uses the stemmer for searching. But there can be a
default stemmer and the query API can allow the user to override it by
an alternative language while querying. So that is not that big a
problem.

Well then you are much better off changing the source to make the
default stemmer danish :)

Are you sure you installed ndesk-dbus and ndesk-dbus-glib correctly ?
Can you paste the contents of
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ndesk-dbus*.pc ? There should be two files, one
ndesk-dbus* and other ndesk-dbus-glib*.
