Description Diego Iastrubni 2009-09-04 21:35:30 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

I am running KDE 4.3.0 using Hebrew (RTL) desktop. When I start my session, it seems like plasma-desktop is LTR.

I open konsole, run 
kquitapp plasma-desktop
plasma-desktop

Now plasma works perfectly. I issue the same commands from krunner and now plasma is LTR.

It seems like the initialization of the graphics scene layout is borked, since the regular "QWidgets" looks RTL. The only problems are in the panels and main desktop.

I've the same problem also. I run kde 4.3.2 on kubuntu 9.10 beta.

OK. After get LTR panel I kill the panel and run it again. I got RTL panel. After that I re-run again the plasma and I got LTR panel again. Here are the output of the processes:

Comment 3 oc666 2009-11-01 15:22:46 UTC

Some more info: I try to re-initialize the problem. So I clear my settings (with removing .kde from my home dir) and then go into the regional and language setting. I add Hebrew and add it to the top of the languages list (with English-US). I apply the changes but it stuck with infinite loop with the panel "Updating system configuration." (it loop from start when it arrive to 90%).
When I enforce quit and enter to the languages I try to put English to the top but I got the same result. Also when I put English only or Hebrew only.
Maybe some language settings had not installed(?).
