[bidi] Title Bar Caption of Window and Dialog Missing

[guoyi]

OS: Ubuntu 8.04

Problem:
I am creating window or dialog using GTK library, and setting title of the window or dialog. I am experiencing a problem that caption of the title bar can not be shown when I set the locale with bi-directional languages(bidi).

Details:
Compile the source code gtk_dialog_test.cpp below in en_US, and then change the locale to Hebrew or Arabic, and run the executable file that I just compiled. Title bar caption is missing.

This problem does not happen on neither Redhat nor SUSE.

//file gtk_dialog_test.cpp
# include <gtk/gtk.h>

int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
    GtkWidget *gtkmsgDialog;

    gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

    gtkmsgDialog = gtk_dialog_new();

    gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(gtkmsgDialog),"GTK Dialog Test");
    gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WINDOW(gtkmsgDialog), GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);
    gtk_window_resize(GTK_WINDOW(gtkmsgDialog), 200,50);

    gtk_widget_show(gtkmsgDialog);

    gtk_main();

    return 0;
}

If I set title of the window or dialog in Hebrew, caption of the title bar can be shown in Hebrew locale. Source code is following.

//file gtk_dialog_text_he.cpp
# include <gtk/gtk.h>

int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
    GtkWidget *gtkmsgDialog;

    gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

    gtkmsgDialog = gtk_dialog_new();

    gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(gtkmsgDialog),"מחשב");
    gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WINDOW(gtkmsgDialog), GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);
    gtk_window_resize(GTK_WINDOW(gtkmsgDialog), 200,50);

    gtk_widget_show(gtkmsgDialog);

    gtk_main();

    return 0;
}

does this works fine in jaunty now? otherwise would be worth to send it directly to upstream at bugzilla.gnome.org, thanks.

did you try on jaunty? do you use the desktop effects option? the title is not a gtk widget
