I use Stardict in Ubuntu 12.04 and everything was fine.

But recently the main window (with settings, vocabularies etc) stops displaying for me. I have tried everything, but this window is not showing anywhere, thus I cannot change settings of the program (I want to remap key bindings).

I think it's an option "Hide main window on startup" or something like that, I have turned it ON.

Could you help me please to display the main window or at least point to configuration file of stardict to reset this option?

Open gnome-terminal, enter stardict - Lookup words and press Enter.

The main graphical window will open now. Untick the main window's hide option.
