month ago :-)

Well LAM ALEF is not 0xfefb :-) the 0xfefb is the LAM_ALEF shape (glyph) 
code, that is what get viewed, but it is not what should be stored or 
inputed..
The LAM ALEF that need to be sent when you click on the LAM_ALEF key (B) 
should be the two letters LAM and ALEF ( 0x0644 and 0x0627) :-) and so with 
all the complex letters.. that is because when you delete the last letter 
from the LAM_ALEF for example, you will have LAM left, not removing the whole 
shape as if it is one letter while it is two ..
So if you know how to define a key with two letters ( two codes) that would 
be great.. I asked the XFree86 people and they hadn't been much help..

Thanks for the additions, I will have to check out few things before I commit 
them to the XFree86 people .. and I guess that all changes should be sent 
once.. so as soon as we fix the complex letters issue I will send them the 
patch to add.
