I think Evoluation could be behaving correclty according to Unicode 5.0
standard (which isn't so perfect as far as I know).

Actually I didn't notice how mentors.debian.net sends it.

Erm, that's really hard to answer. See, when you have some text, where 
the main context is english, but there is some arabic, then if some 
sentence (or line) started with an arabic word, should the whole 
sentence start from the right ? The answer should be no, or else the 
text would look really funny, but what matters is that the arabic alone 
should be rendered correctly from right to left.
