after setting the Arabic Keymap, and symbol ( in $XDIR/lib/X11/xkb/symbols) and setting every xfree86 file .. the AR symbol for the Arabic language Appear in kxkb control module .. and adding the Arabic keyboard works fine .. but I need to be holding the right ALT key to enter in Arabic even when I am selecting the Arabic keyboard.
The fix ( I guess I know it)  is to add this line to the kdebase/kxkb/rules.cpp file :
 rules.cpp, line 132
          { "ar", "ISO8859-6",1 },

 it will make the kxkb take take the ar keyboard symbol and make it possible
  to input in arabic without the use of the ALT key.
