Cannot answer this question. However:
KDE's "Konsole" can be set to use various encodings. 1255
(Windows-Hebrew/English) works (sort of--typing a Hebrew file name is strange
at best, but) I can use a Hebrew file name.
This file name will not display in Konqueror, regardless of the encoding I set
there (does not offer Unicode but does offer 1255).
Hebrew file names also will not display on the desktop.
I would assume the completion schemes do not really work with Unicode or
anything else. Too many folks program for only good old US English.
urxvt -- there are several Unicode rxvt packages on Debian with varying
capabilities. Which one are you using and do you recommend? Do they replace
the normal xterm when one is not using KDE or such?
