> long long debate;
as I said the complex part is already solved,
and I think Qt to some level have good RTL support and it has layout management,
some people thought that they are too smart and they don't need to use
them and they hard coded values

solving that needs long time of documentation to put big signs on
every method or property that set x/y coordinate, "avoid using this
method unless you are aware of RTL problems, use any of layout
management strategies"

and of course it needs to change QA phases ..etc.

because new developers will always come

that's not an excuse, not being able to read Arabic is something sad
but it's not the reason for those bugs, those bugs come because some people
thought that they are smarter than those who wrote the BiDi layout engine in Qt

for example there are new maintainers come to fedora
most of them knows nothing about rpath
but fedora won't accept an rpm with rpath
why ?
because in the review process there is a QA about rpath
there is a good documentation about rpaths
that's why having new maintainers is not an excuse

and as I said KDE was just an failure story, it's not the problem I'm
trying to solve by this post
the problem wasn't with the new code having RTL problems
it's how they got to those problem AGAIN

let's back to the topic

> Well, in KDE there will be no bug because KDE takes care of mounting devices
with the utf8 flag.

have you read the consistency problem

3. you introduced new incompatibility levels between the same release
of fedora [take the possibility of having some file created in one
desktop then mounted in another, after logging of or after using live
user switch]
