I was after an Arabized package (or portions there-of) to potentially
include in Arabbix (the Arabic LiveCD).  Sounds like there is nothing
to include as it seems an Arabized/localized interface doesn't yet
exist (I was under the impression that some games were ready for
consumption while others weren't - my bad).

Guess GCompress is not yet ready for Arabbix.

Is TuxPaint Arabized ?  Again, if we are after giving Arabic kids
something to play with, it will need to be in Arabic.

Unless someone steps forward and takes these kid-related localization
and arabization issues, I have a feeling this will be forgotten rather
quickly.
