isam, I mean the standard in XFree86 keyboard layout is to represent 
languages by countries not by their two letter code and KDE expects that so 
the conflict happens when we try to use the two letter code for arabic for 
the keyboard layout rather than using the two letter code for a specific 
country that uses arabic most
For me , I don't think KDE people will do anything about that , cuz they 
aren't to change their whole system to add a new keyboard layout!
they use the system of representing the language by the two letter code for a 
specific country that uses this language most , but we breaked their system , 
so we who must solve that problem , aren't u with me isam ?
