First of all, you can easily run gnome from kdm and kde from gdm. It's all
a matter of putting the right session (and it is really not that
difficult).
Anyway, check your distro's settings. In a proper system both "gnome" and
"kde" should call some standard X init scriptthat does some extra work
(/etc/X11/Xsession , IIRC). Have a look there. I believe it calls some
user script, like .xinitrc or .Xclients .

/etc/gtk/gtkrc.he or ~/.gtkrc , I believe.

I'm not sure about a ppp dialer. pine is a nice mailer, and I manage to
read hebrew nicely with it (except UTF8, for the moment). You can either
run it in a bidirectional terminal (patched xterm, or 'biditext xterm').
There is also mozilla, of course.
You can also try your standard-gnome-mailer (e.g. balsa) under biditext
(at least for reading messages).
