Hi

I want to have a light-wight desktop that is hebrew-enabled.

Light-weight: fits a 486 or Pentium system with 16-32 MB of memory

Hebrew-Enabled: Any widget on the screen that displays hebrew text will
dislpay it properly.

This means that if a window title contains Hebrew (e.g: from a browser) it
will be displayed in logical Hebrew. It probably means that the window
manager should be written with gtk 2.0 or QT3. There are some light-wieght
desktops written in GTK and practically none written in QT.

The only dekstop I can currently think of is XFCE. I don't know when it
will be ported to gtk2.

Note: I can think of a very simple modification to biditext that will
allow it to be used with most window managers (unset LD_PRELOAD at
biditext init time, hopefully this will happen before any children were
spawned, thus no child process of the window manager will inherit the
value of LD_PRELOAD and will load biditext.so), but I'm not sure if this
will hebrew-enable all window managers.

Comments?
