Hi Dotan,
I have seen you bug sprint this week, don't worry :)
However, bug 165406 talks about input controls,which in Qt4 do not have
automatic direction detection. IMHO, this is a non important bug compared
to 163459
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163459
This one renderes Plasma completelly useless for RTL users, and prevents
the proper translation of the GUI: it means that Plasma will *always* be
LTR, since the graphics scene layout system does not know about the widget
direction and ignores that property completelly.
The last bug will hopefuly fixed by Trolltech in Qt45 which means (I am
currently looking if this issue has been sent to the trolls at all).
One more note:
Voting in this case is completelly usesless. The LTR developers (hm....)
are afraid of touching this, and with good reasonss. There are very few
people which understand this area, and none of them are coding right now.
Even if you have giziliion-gazillio votes - no one will fix this issue. I
will try to find time in a month or two, but I cannot promise anything,
and specially nothing for KDE 4.0, maybe (with a lot of luck for KDE 4.1.2
or 4.1.1), but most possible for 4.2.0.
My suggestion?
Nag the distributions. They have resources (=developers) which can be
spent in this subject, they can really make a difference. So far, none of
the distros are paying for a developer in the RTL/BiDI field - and this is
why KDE4 and (somettimes...) gnome are licking balls in this area.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
BTW, WTF is this garbage? Is this opera writing shit, or badly sent email?
I don't see it in KMail
