I assume by backwards you mean left-to-right, i.e, the direction is 
wrong. I also assume that you compiled AW yourself, since the 
precompiled binaries are without bidi support. Could you compile a 
debug build (add ABI_OPT_DEBUG=1 to the make command line), 
and then as you start, before you type anything, see if the debug 
messages contain 'GTK-Warning: locale not supported by C library' 
(if it is present, it is fairly near the top of the debug messages), or 
any other messages that could be relevant.

Now, if you find this particular message, could you please let me 
know (1) what locale you are using, and (2) whether the locale 
seems to work otherwise.

Thank for you help

Tomas
