Right-to-left editing was one of the goals of Xword.  I tried that back
when they got started, and it was a mess.  It may have been due to their
poor design decisions, but R-to-L editing didn't work well at all.  

That could mean that it would be a very difficult thing to enable, though
certainly it would be a welcome feature for some languages.  I gather that
LaTeX supports (somehow) Hebrew, so it might indeed be possible if the
display issues are not too difficult.
