This is a known issue in Xorg/XFree86 .. It is indeed a major bug, but I think that the problem is that it is not possible to map a keyboard key to 2 characters.. last I checked (2 years ago) it was not possible to do so.. Now the Big problem is, the keyaboard definition of Arabic in X (KDE/Gnome,etc) map the LAM_ALEF glyph (presentation form) to the key.. which is a major mistake because it breaks iconv and recode conversion of text, as the presentation form should NEVER be stored in a file, and having it mapped in the keybaord layout break that.
