This means that the whole gnome session will run with biditext (including
any web browser)

As unicode? Will that be UTF-8? Will the resulting message be indeed
UTF-8?

You will probably have a hard time typing hebrew without setting LC_CTYPE
(or LANG) to he_IL .
BTW: You can tell biditext not to check the charset by setting
BIDITEXT_OPTIONS
to 'NO_CHECK_CHARSET'

Same settings.
However, there seems to be one major problem: it seems that every word is
reversed seperately. As if evolution prints eny word separatly to the
screen.
(I've tried to trace that with 'BIDITEXT_OPTIONS=TRACE_LOG2VIS biditext
evolution'. However, I can't see the output trace from those components,
as they don't have a terminal. Thus I'm not sure that indeed biditext
gets every word seperately)
