No I do not know tht for a fact .. I didn't try any Pre Alpha for GNome 2 to 
test it ..
it does Bidi because it do it for Hebrew .. but I have no idea about the 
shaping ..
as soon as we are i nrelation with the Gnome people, we could ask the 
developers to have a snapshot for Arabic to see how it does look
