Sorry for answering very late, I didn't know any solution to your
problem.

But this seems to work on SuSE Linux 8.0 now.

The new Qt3/KDE3 supports bidirectinal writing, i.e. if you 
select the Israelian keyboard in the KDE3 control center,
input of hebrew works in KDE3 applications.

In SuSE Linux 8.0 there is also a new terminal available
called 'mlterm' (multilingual terminal). 'mlterm' also supports
bidirectional writing, if you use it in UTF-8 mode. Just start

    LANG=he_IL.UTF-8 mlterm

and select the Israelian keyboard in the KDE3 control center
and you can input hebrew into mlterm.
