Most of these were added late in Gtk 2 to make porting to Gtk 3
easier.
There also were some new accessor functions in 2.22.
I think I've fixed them all, but I still don't have an
Ubuntu-10.04 VM
built yet to test on.
Here are the good and bad news!
Good news.
- It compiles now, with some warnings but it compiles
- logical hebrew is displayed correctly, (I used the file you sent me)
- input is not very nice, the cursor jumps but it works! So I would
agree with Aidan: we have BIDI support, not as nice as GNU emacs,
but sufficient.
Bad news:
- more or less minor: the fonts are terrible, they are ugly[1] and
they are too small.
- xemacs needs ages to start, I first started with my init files,
but after a couple of minutes I killed it and restarted with
-vanilla, it still needs a long time.
- it seems impossible to resize the windows by a simple mouse movement
- in the upper right corner appears something which looks like a
*scratch* buffer (I could provide a screenshot)
Maybe this is all caused by the use of the old gtk library I am using.
In the current form it is un usable.
But it is great to have BIDI without the need to touch the display
engine.

Footnotes:
[1] in Spanish slang (only in Spain) you could say they are as ugly as
beating a father.
