You are right. That is because khtml (the Konqueror rendering engine) and Qt
(the gui toolkit kde is based on) are both trying to implement BiDi at the
same time, causing a 'double-bidi' effect... essentially making it useless.

KDE developers are aware of this, and there was a thread on it when they first
moved to Qt3.. but apparently no one has gotten around to it yet.
