Why not? Actually, I noticed something strange regarding kedit/kde2. But maybe this is common to qt2's text box widget: biditext seems to work too well with it. As you probably know, bisitext generally works fine for displaying text, but whenever the text changes, things start to become strange. Also, whenever some text is selected, you get to see strange behaviour. It seems that this mostly doesn't hapen with kedit. I can select a text as much as I like, and it won't be misplaced. Actually such a kedit is relatively useful ass a bidi text pad. Also: we need to test how it behavves with various kinds of clients * gtk app * qt2 apps * qt1 apps * xaw apps ... > meanwhile, others (groupB) will check (discuss and _implement_) code that > will use X properties to handle the communications.
