Mixed direction filenames overlap

(sorry if this is sent multiple times, i'm having significant
difficulty sending it)

If a filename contains both RTL and LTR text, something gets confused
and it doesn't wrap properly, overlapping with the next file. (I think
it's causing the title to be pushed over from where the layout engine
thinks it's meant to be, which is emphasised when it's highlighted.)

I have a screenshot showing this at
<http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/3922/overlapdp0.png>

The filename of the first file contains the portion in Arabic script
first, so it is:

دوسىم Chinese Kazakh

or in transliteration 'dosim Chinese Kazakh'. It doesn't look like it
happens if the RTL section comes last.

I'm using ROX-Filer 2.5 (2006-07-07) on Debian 'etch' on a PPC.

Tide 0.1 - real-time text editor

Tide is a real-time text editor, based on Edit. The main difference
from - AFAIK - basically any other text editor is that it writes to
the file /as you type/, instead of you manually clicking the save
button (in case of files it can't write to, it will dump the edited
contents to stdout as you close the window. The plan is for this to
become more useful).
This made some features from Edit essentially useless, so I took them out:
- Save: it's now done automagically.
- Save As: with auto-saving, Save As provides no functionality that
the filer's "Copy" function doesn't.
- Diff: there /are/ no differences between the disk file and the
editor's file, and there are already plenty of things to do diffs
between two diskfiles.
- New: I find the filer's to be enough, and better.
This left the toolbar a little empty looking, so I took it out aswell.
Also, I removed some preferences that became redundant (colours for
the 'diff' function, show/hide toolbar), and that I consider
extraneous (per-app font selection, pixel-level margins and spacing).
I attempted to restructure the code into the model-view-controller
system, although my resulting code is probably worse than the
conglomerate. I plan to, at a later date, use glade to construct the
view - this is currently not doable, since I broke the minibuffers,
and then unbroke them the wrong way.

Tide requires the gtksourceview Python bindings. Get it by pointing
the injector (or AddApp or whatever) at:
   http://www.cye-tech.com/~lennon/Tide/Tide.xml

The interface is signed with a different key than my FreeBSD stuff,
because I'm hopeless at keeping backups.

Is this the new fingerprint?

Posting from gmail

Sf.net have now fixed their system so that it no longer queues postings
from gmail accounts and then rejects them a few days later.

If you had anything bounce, please try posting it again now!

ROX filer startup time

I use ROX-Filer 2.5 on several systems (running CRUX and icewm). On one 
system, a 1.1GHz notebook, the filer takes less than 1 second to come 
up. On another, a brand new 3.2GHz dual core workstation, it takes about 
4 seconds with 100% CPU load! I'm baffled... Does the startup time 
depend on the size of the file system, or what else may cause this 
difference?

Regards,
Bernd
