using the hebrew language pack (i produce), when you open a new profile,
chatzilla displays a blank screen in the *client* tab.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.apply the hebrew language pack from
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/l10n/mlp_status.html#moz_1.5 to mozilla 1.5.
2.open a new profile
3.while in the new profile, open chatzilla

Actual Results:  
the client tab content is all white, and empty.

Expected Results:  
shoult display the usual content

by adding utf-8 charset meta tag
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> to
/content/chatzilla/output-window.html in chatzilla.jar <head> section, the
problem is solved. i released a modified chatzilla at
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/hebmoz/CHATZILLA_0.9.35.XPI?download that
implements this fix.
So adding the <meta> tag is all that was needed to fix it? (and why?) Does it
depend in any way on the browser's default charset/auto-detect settings?
adding that meta tag is all what i did. the fix was found by milupo @
sorbzilla.de. i don't know why that helps. the default character set for the
browser is set in the language pack to iso-8859-8-i (logical hebrew), which
should be able to display english, even in unicode, since english in unicode has
the same numeral code as in ascii. however, i didn't check yet what happenes if
i change the default charset.

i didn't translate the chatzilla component, so it should be in english, and it
is, once you add the fix.
Depends on: 229545
Chatzilla 0.9.54 is now available and has landed on the trunk (cvs). This should
have resolved this bug; if it has not, please reopen it.
