Interesting feature. If I understand the design correctly, it can be
achieved by creating an idle or a timeout function which in turn calls
gtk_clipboard_request_text(), am I right?
Yes, I call gtk_clipboard_request_text() on a PRIMARY clipboard every second (by default,changeable?), and if the
content has changed I call the proper *lookup* function and bring the window to the front (changeable?).

Please, open a bug for the gdict component of the gnome-utils product
inside Gnome Bugzilla.
Done. I will track this on the Bug 332000.

There are no plans, and I frankly do not believe it would be a good
feature; let's not pollute the notification area with icons which aren't
used for status: this is not windows. The notification area is meant
for stuff like hardware events or alarms.
You are right.
