Is it called kikbd? I thought it is called kxkb . never mind.

Also:
You can use xev to try to figure out what your keyboard is sending and how
it gets translated.
See http://www.iglu.org.il/faq/cache/85.html for a sample output.

QT2.3 fixed one annoying problem that has something to do with displaying
of hebrew text (more exactly: iso-8859-8 text), which affects those of the
distros whose glibc hebrew locale uses "he" (the correct one) rather than
"iw" (the deprecated one). [un]fortunetly, a couple of disros use "iw", so
they are not affected:
http://www.iglu.org.il/faq/cache/140.html
But was there anything to do with input?
I have no problems with my mandrake 7.2 (qt 2.2.something)

It's a seperate package by kde. AFAIK all distros put it in a seperate
package. You'll have to set LC_MESSAGES to "he' if your LANG is "iw"...
