Arash,

I know that it might not be related to xkb, and frankly I don't know 
what xfree86 component it is related to. But it is quite common for a 
bug reporter, not to know what specific component of a product the bug 
is related to. It is usually the task of Bugzilla maintainer to 
reassign the bug to the related component, not for a stranger to close 
it, saying that it is not related to 'foo' component.

And while I have voted (20 points) for your bug on KDE, I have to agree 
with Arash Z in that I think it is a Xfree86 bug. The reason? KDE 3.1 
using XFree 4.2 doesn't show this vertical line. It is IMHO a bug 
introduced in Xfree86 4.3

Well, we have lost proper farsi support due to this bug, and I am not 
exaggerating when I say that this bug is the sole reason that has 
prohibited me from using KBabel, and translating KDE.

And well, they are already laughing at us. Have you looked at Roozbeh 
P's weblog recently? he makes great fun of us, whenever he finds a 
spelling error in one of our bug reports.

We two groups, haven't had a smooth relationship in the past, but still 
I assume that we do have some common goals, and while I don't expect 
them to help us in our problems, I at least expect them not to trow 
stones in our way.

Or maybe that's a wrong assumption.

But seriously, Arash, I think we should investigate this bug more 
thourouly, and determine really wether it is a KDE bug, or a XFree86 
one. This bug is really serious.

Cheers
