setxkbmap -variant basic il

If you have XFree 4.0, you might want:
setxkbmap -variant basic -option grp:alt_shift_toggle il
(Or something similar. I just like the Windows combo for switching.)

Then run the KDE application as:
LC_CTYPE=iw_IL kedit
which'll instruct xlib to decode keysyms to ISO-8859-8.
Real Unicode apps on X (e.g. Mozilla, GTK 2.0 based software) usually
decode the keysyms to the appropriate Unicode symbols themselves.
