hack: arabic/vnc on linux client

Assalamu alaikum.

As a follow-up to my previous question, I found that if the client 
running vnc is also running X and I switch the kbd layout to be Arabic 
on the local machine, it will type Arabic on the remote machine.  So, 
until there's a way around it, you can start kxkb on the local machine 
and Alt-Tab between it and a full-screen vnc session of the remote 
machine to switch input languages.  It's a clumsy hack, but it works.

(This still doesn't answer my original question because it was regarding 
a vnc client on Windows.)
