In what felt like a surrueal miracle emerging out of the sky, OpenBox now shows arabic titles correctly...
This miracle was single-handedly programmed by MohammedSameer, programmer extraordinaire!
The patch is ready, it still needs some ironing before getting submitted, then I'll move on to bugging MohammedSameer about doing something else...
His name will certainly be mentioned with honor from now on...
as a sidenote, here's a mini to-do list for the things I want to ask for Mohammed's help in: 1-OpenBox: arabic titles... almost done 2-Mplayer: arabic OSD for subtitles... 3-Xdialog: port to GTK2+...
Other stuff: 1-CUPS arabic patch... 2-translation of rox's po files... 3-check with the guy at the meeting about the fully UTF-8 Xlib ( currently even X.org-4.3 has incomplete UTF-8 support)
.... and lot's of other stuff ....

And here is the MPlayer patch...
My My what a catch!
Really MohammedSameer, where have you been all my life ( or rather the last few months )? I did catch the gtk-2 mplayer patch in a similar fashion on the mplayer mailing lists.
Yet this far supercedes my wildest dreams! I will test the patch ASAP and notify you of the results.
This is going to be exciting...
thanx MohammedSameer honorable programmer extraordinaire ( shouldn't we consider knightship? )
