If anyone wants to work on a replacement dictionary UI, I'd vote for
something similar to spotlight integrated into GNOME Shell or
spell-integration in GTK+ rather than a separate app. The dictionary
integration in the Kindle, iOS, and OS X is much more useful than a
discrete app (saves a context switch, less effort, etc).

I do agree that Wiktionary is probably the best source we have. A tiny
library wrapper would suffice to make it available to applications!
