[Bug 562130] Re: Selecting an RTL language should install RTL capable terminal emulator

 

Usama:
Yes. MLTerm is ugly - it doesn't have Gome-terminal's options, menu, scroll-bar, opacity and other features.
The reason is simple enough - it's not a Gnome application. it was written directly in X API (AFAIK).
If MLTerm will be ever included in RTL installations by default as this bug suggests then it should be known and agreed that it's only a temporary solution - a workaround for the real problem.

Besides that, as Yaron said before, I think people are entitled to hold their own opinion and speak of it publicly.
You have a different opinion and I respect that.

Yaron:
If we want to fix Gnome-terminal we should first come up with a design that Behdad Esfahbod will approve. He will accept a patch only if it is using the "right approach" to solve the problem. Behdad claims that none of the existing terminal emulators he knows solve the problem correctly. I can only guess that he knows about the existence of MLTerm as RTL enabled terminal and he probably found some flaws in it's methods of dealing with RTL text.
