That's very nice, why don't you send them to Miguel or anybody else that
is incharge of gnome-libs/core.

But I don't think it solves the problem of hebrew.
The big problem is that there is no BiDi support, and currently,
if you intend to put it in gnome it must be done into gtk+ and gtk+ is
on feature-freeze.

Also many programs (including some windowmanagers) must have hebrew
hebrew supportive fonts (iso-8859-8) for that change, I have no idea
since I never tried to work with that, but how can you change a font for
a GtkLabel without touching the source of the program you change?
