Yes, but XLib represents symbols from key-presses as 32bit codes. The translation from this to the 8bit in gtk 1.2 "prints" nothing in case that those symbols are not valid characters in the current charset. Newer libraries don't rely on this rutine of X and do the conversion by themselves. Thus mozilla, QT (>= 2.3) and gtk2 don't have this problem. > Cool. How do I get biditext not lo be loaded wit ha specific program? If you can set the command that launces this program, then unset (or nullify) the value of LD_PRELOAD. Otherwise, I'm not sure. Keep in mind that KDE also has a component architechture that allows for several processes to easily display in one application window.
