Hebrew cannot be inputted "direction-unchanged". As to the cursor
marker being swapped, it's a purely cosmetic feature. In current GTK
1.3, it's swapped after you enter a single letter of an RTL language
and swapped back with a single letter of an LTR language. I suggested
Owen Taylor to make it detect the group changes, but it doesn't seem to
be a high priority for now ...
So I assume he meant the widget directionality.
