Hi Avraham,

Not the way I expected either :/ .  My apologies for that.  Glad you
managed to work around it.  Hm, I wasn't sure if the upgrade would fix
the other issues - evidently not.

OOo uses myspell for its dictionaries.  Have you tried installing
myspell-he?  That might work for the dictionary install.  Not sure about
the rectangles though.

Dave.
