They didn't drop RTL support. In fact they actually improved it, for example
KWrite and Kate now support RTL since 4.0.
What did happen is that Plasma uses QGraphicsView which has no or broken RTL
support in Qt 4.4. This is fixed in Qt 4.5.

Well, I don't think the issue is apparent from a screenshot, so please
explain what's wrong.

I actually agree with you there. UTF-8 should be the default everywhere, as
it is the default charset in Fedora. I think we should even consider just
dropping support for non-UTF-8 locales entirely. (In fact, that's exactly
what KDE 4 did, Solid just always forces UTF-8 when mounting volumes.)
