8. Accelerator and QMenu
CODE: From the Qt examples I tested like this:
/examples/mainwindows/application/mainwindow.cpp:
editMenu = menuBar()->addMenu(trUtf8("ﺕ&ﺡﺮﻳﺭ"((;

The order of Arabic letters is messed

9. Arabic letters disappear when diacritics are used!
I manage to reproduce this in QLabel, QTextEdit and QLineEdit

The above line is the first letter of the Arabic alphabet and a diacritic over 
it (FATHATAN). When I type or paste this, it disappears!

10. Shortcuts don't work when an Arabic letter is used:

CODE:
pb.setShortcut(QObject::trUtf8("Ctrl+ن", "Quit"));

11. setReverseLayout() is not a member of QApplication!
        QApplication::setReverseLayout();
gives
error: `setReverseLayout' is not a member of `QApplication'
Is this related to styles not being implemented yet or what?

5. Arabic letters disappear when diacritics are used!

I managed to reproduce this with

CODE:
QTextEdit *text = new QTextEdit(QObject::trUtf8("ا"));

PROBLEM: you want see any letters displayed!

The above line is the first letter of the Arabic alphabet and a diacritic over 
it (FATHATAN). When I type or paste this, it disappears!



Keep up the good work and thanks blanchette, ... for the nice book!
