[Debian-hebrew-common] Re: Hebrew OOo with gnome/KDE integration are a mess

[Itai Seggev]

I noticed the problem with drop-down boxes about a year and half ago
and submitted to a bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=286246

The package maintainer has merged the new bug with my old ones, at
least for now. My bug has been tagged pending, so hopefully this will
be fixed soon (possibly as well as the other issues reported).

In 1997 a group of programmers started writing a desktop environment
to fix a travesty they didn't create.  Their program promptly found
its way onto un*x systems everywhere. Today, still opposed by a
software monopolist, they survive as soldiers of fortune.  If you share
their vision, if you know you can help, and if you can connect to
internet, maybe you can join... the K-Team.
