Hi Meni, 
  Well mlterm uses fribidi for bidi support (http://fribidi.sf.net) it would 
be great to have konsole implemeting fribidi to have bidi ..
Infact I am using konsole with KDE3 and it fails to do arabic .. don't know 
why .. doesn't it use QT3 widgets ?
Anyhow .. off topic, what happened to the QT message wrap issue, do you know 
it did reach ? it is quite effecting KDE an Arabic ..
