Hebrew keyboard support was already available in KDE2 .

But still it is not done exactly right: currently switching the keyboard
layout in KDE (Ctrl-K (?)) loads a new keymap to the xserver, instead
simply switching to a different keyboard group. If you find that switching
a keyboard this way takes too much time, then see the IGLU FAQ for
configuring and switching keyboard layout with, e.g. both shifts.

This also basically worked with KDE2, but I understand from Hetz that
there have been minor improvements here.

I find that this is essential in many cases (e.g.: try editing a hebrew
HTML file with such a text editor: such a file has a combination of RTL
text and LTR text)

gtk 2?
