Zak, don't take this attack personally, it was for all of us KDE 
developers. This one is broken for a long time, and I did not even 
notice, and when I did, I did not report it. It will change today. For 
all maintainers: please look for bugs with RTL/BIDI, they are not 
usually hard to fix, and yet they are not trivial. If you have any 
doubt, mail me, I will do my best to help you.

The problem is well documented, and there is a small test case which 
reproduces the problem. I used numbers instead of any text because I 
know most KDE developers run away when they see "Arabic" or "Hebrew" or 
"BIDI" or whatever. The "BIDI" problems in KDE today are not about 
Hebrew, nor Arabic, but bad designing of interfaces. They are quite easy 
to fix, id you know how to look at them.

For example, the kicker problem: this is bug number 89890, which I 
reported just recently. Aaron knows this since aKademy (and is working 
of fining it).
Another bad example is 68780 (41693) which was open for ALL KDE 3.2.X 
family.
The window manager decorations problems I am having...
Kate and BIDI...  :(

I will shut up, and report the bugs and closing them when I can, instead 
writing stupid useless mails.
