I think that based on the reply tzafrir sent, although i am not familiar
with the development and maintainance of the X libraries, is to start an
orginized pressure on the X libraries development organization to arrange
their code to allow for left to right languages support, or at least to
concentrate all the problemtic code in one place.
What do you think? can it be done?

You are right that rebuilding the X libraries is the Right Thing to do in
this case. However, it is much more complecated. And it is certainly not
feasable to make a binary distribution of it (we'll have to maintain too
many seperate versions)
