Hello ILUG. I use KDE to write hebrew (left to right, but it's ok for web forms {that probably reverse it in a script} and I can manage), as it has this nice KiKbd thingy with hebrew support. I noticed that GNOME should also have a thingy like that , they call it GKB or something. but whenever I try to run it i get the following message : ** CRITICAL **: file goad.c: line 766 (goad_server_activate_shlib): assertion `i' failed. any idea what is assertion 'i', or for that matter - what the heck does it say ? also, how can I run KiKbd under GNOME ? I tried diffrent settings, but I still can't see the KiKbd. even though I know it is runnnig - it has no affect on typing. I also tried to run kpanel with gnome (under enlightenment), but to no avail - it claims it's waiting for a window manager, and doesn't want to start. can someone help ? did anyone had any experience writing hebrew with X w/o KDE ? Oded
