Re: icewm releases

Hallo,

IceWM is a good desktop, and I wish I would have been in the same state
as you are, if only it had support for BiDi writings (mostly RTL, since
it does already support LTR) so it would also fit to Arabic, Farsi,
Hebrew, Urdu and other RTL language speaking audience.

When I will cease from using Fluxbox, I would like to continue with
IceWM, instead of Xfce.

I think BiDi and an external tool like ObConf to easily tweak IceWM are
the biggest issues, the latter, of course, is not of IceWM itself.
