BTW: 'real' hebrew mapping can be used with just about any keyboard mapper
(including kikbd,for instance). You only have to use the correct map.

Unfortunetly it seems wmkeyboard only allows the use of keysyms in the
range 0..255 , and thus cannot be used, at the moment.

See /usr/share/locale/locale.alias

See what 'hebrew' is aliased to. I figure it is aliased to 'iw_IL', or
'iw_IL.ISO-8859-8'. Even though the name "iw" is deprecated, it is still
used in a couple of places.

What you need is to have a valid /usr/share/locale/${lang}/LC_CTYPE

Feel free to edit /usr/share/locale/locale.alias
