@Usama I can partly agree with you but this is the true meaning of
brainstorming, we should hear all the suggestions before making a decision

We were locked on MLTerm while the idea brought by Shlomi to fix the
terminal according to the algorithm presented by Konsole was quite good and
actual

The reason this system is public and not private is that people could see
what you have in mind and suggest ways of making it better, sometimes its
making things harder and sometimes problems are solved at no-time

I think my position will help sort things out, until we will have the
required resources to fix gnome-terminal we should push MLTerm as default
with each installation (just like Debian does)
Meanwhile we should work together to help fix the bug in vte
(gnome-terminal) according to the algorithm presented by Konsole, this way
MLTerm will only be a temporary solution like it should be...
After the problem is solved you will have to install it manually and it will
not be installed by default

Another important things we should do first:
1. Check whether the Konsole developers are willing to help on this matter
2. Check with the vte developers if our solution is feasible (We can just
add a comment to the upstream bug, nothing more that that)
3. We could try and contact the ssh developers (a little more complicated)
and see if we can get their support (apparently they present a pretty good
support for RTL in ssh as well)

Does anyone disagree?
