Does gnome-terminal do bidi and shaping ?  I thought it didn't.

OK, this would fall under Arabeyes' Gnome translation project, right ?
Or is it a seperate .po files ?

Does it have Arabic support ?  If not, is it being pushed for or looked
into ?  Bare in mind that we are only interested in Arabic-centric

Anmar, much thanks for your reply and time.  How about the others ?
What do others want to see included in distros ?

Come on people !!

Salam.
