Nowadays, the icon near the user name is disabled in RTL interfaces, but we in Hebrew Wikipedia, Wikiquote and Wikisource re-added it in our Monobook.css, and it works well. I suggest to cancel the hidding of it also in the global rtl.css. I will create a patch soon.
Created attachment 1466 [details] Patch for CVS HEAD Patch, deletes the CSS part in "rtl.css" which hides the icon. I've tested the patch and it works well, just like Wikipedia.
Comment on attachment 1466 [details] Patch for CVS HEAD This is a patch for HEAD, or MAIN, or something like that (the main tree, where version 1.6 is developed, and which Wikimedia projects use). Patch for REL1_5 is coming soon.
Observing a fresh RTL test wiki, it doesn't appear that the icon is hidden at all.

And directly, please see: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/phase3/skins/monobook/rtl.css?view=markup Search the line "/* Fix link icons */" - the line after that cancels the icon. Does your installed Wiki use rtl.css?
1. Using MediaWiki 1.6alpha 2. It's a Yiddish language RTL wiki 3. rtl.css appears to be being imported http://www.anubite.co.uk/wikis/yiddish

Quite correct. I apologise.
Tested on a fresh install and applied to CVS HEAD.
Could you please fix it also in CVS REL1_5? It's very minor, and I've tested the patch on a fresh install of recent 1.5cvs files.
It's already in the stable version, so there is no need to fix it in REL1_5.
