on my machine (debian sid as well) the compile went smooth but when i try to
run it - first it doesnt find fonts when i change it to arial 9 like u said
it just segfaults out with no errors on the console.
i am a kde user so i might have some misconfiguration issues with gnome
althought when i open gnome i can see hebrew in the menus.
any ideas ?
