Re: [linuxiran] Xfree86 bug, and Behdad Esfahbod

[Arash Bijanzadeh]

I am telling this is a KDE bug. It is not happening in gedit under X4.3 and it 
is happening in KDE under X4.2.1; I have told this several times but you keep 
saying that it is a  X bug. I went through 6 chapter of unicode to find the 
last one out  I took me 48 hours and was a real torture! I am working on a 
bug before reporting it or saying something!

I dont' care about this kiddy, what is really anoying is that nobody moving 
his finger, All of linuxiran guys keep talking and talking and talking! no 
move no translation no progress!
Example? You should have one a great deal of translation till now but you did 
nothing! Why? Instead of watching the lord of the ring or compiling kernel 
translating two string of KDE would be more useful but less fun I should 
agree! 
With the great knowledge of C++ that ArashP have he can fix this bug of KDE, 
but he preefr to write a memory allocation sample! I really could not 
understand it!
Nobody else is working but platoali and he got to give up soon "ye dast seda 
nadare" you know.

The bad news is that we missed kate bidi support in KDE3.2 too! There was no 
feedback and interest in it and it could not be merged in the head for 
3.2   :-(
