set LANG to "he" and LC_MESSAGES to "C" (and make sure LC_ALL is not
set)

At the moment LyX (version >= 1.1.5, preferably >= 1.1.5fix2 , not klyx)
is your best choice.
I would also stay out of kde2 as a desktop environtment, if hebrew is a
major considaration (except for the konquerer as a stand-alone browser, of
course).
BTW: I noticed that 'biditext kedit' (once you set up kedit with "web
font") gives an bidi-supporting text editor: It seems that it redraws the
whole line for every character added, and thus you don't have to keep
refreshing the display.
Not as good as 'gtkbidi gedit', but the latter does not work on mandrake
7.2 ...
