Mikhael/Olivier, I downloaded a recent snapshot (20020416) to test
out the Bidi code that was recently added.  I compiled with fribidi;
everything went smoothly - configure noted,

  With Bi-directional text support?   yes

yet I'm not sure how to go about displaying a window title in Arabic.
I tried the following,

  Using a 10646 font (its used successful in many other applications),
  I defined the following entries in my fvwm2rc file,

  Style * Font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-full10x20-1

  AddToMenu arabic-test
  + "Arabic" Title 
  + "ar-test"    Exec exec xterm -title Ù?رحبا -e rsh otho &
  + "Ù?رحبا"  Exec exec xterm -title test -e rsh otho &

  In my .xinitrc prior to starting fvwm2, I 'xset fp+ my_10646_font_file',
  I then start fvwm2; I invoke that "ar-test" entry, the xterm appears,
  but the title is NOT displayed in arabic.  The menu entry is not noted
  in Arabic either.  Do note that the environment is set so that I can use
  other applications that require the Bidi library and the 10646 font (so
  they're very much loaded - I hope I don't need to muck with locales and
  such :-)

What am I missing (and/or doing wrong).  The documentation (fvwm.1)
along the lines of usage are somewhat lacking and so I'm wondering
if you could give me some snippets of things that have worked for ya
(ie. some guidance).

Regards,

 - Nadim
