Under RH8 I had Hebrew working just fine on my machine.
I was using KDE's keyboard layout.
I just upgraded to RH9 (with KDE 3.1.2), and now it doesn't work.

I discovered from http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kde-il/message/206
that the keyboard configuration under RH9 "seems completely broken".

So, I tried using the suggested Xkb workaround -

/usr/X11R6/bin/setxkbmap -compat "group_led" -symbols \
"us(pc101)+il+group(alt_shift_toggle)+group(switch)" 

That worked fine (I can switch back and forth between Hebrew and
English), except for the thing I need it for most:

I need to run an application on a remote (VMS) machine, displaying on my
machine, which needs Hebrew input. I am unable to get Hebrew input in
the window from the remote machine. To be completely clear: 
If I telnet to the remote machine, and then create another window
displayed on my machine, and then switch to Hebrew, I get Hebrew in
the telnet session, but no Hebrew in the remotely displayed window.
This was working fine under RH8, and in fact if I use KDE's broken
keyboard utility under RH9 I do get Hebrew in the remotely displayed
window (just can't get back to English, since it's broken).

Is there some setxkbmap option I need to know about ?
Is there some logical explanation for what is going on ?
Can anyone help me ?

TIA.
