Any right-to-left readers out there?

[Thomas Lübking]

Thanks alot.

Sure, this is a subjective matter, but it's still better to rely on _some_ 
informed opinion than on none.

I guess the same should hold for the entire middle east.
(I just learned that e.g. the Chinese seem to write (aside top-down) ltr and 
rtl - sometimes on the same page of a newpaper ;-)

I'll change everything to strict rtl then (in doubt we can still set the 
directon of e.g. only the toolbar to ltr by a config option)

Please notice that the icons allow mirroring _only_ because they've a top-
light model.

I wonder whether one should rather ship an extra rtl svg (and load svgs 
depending on the global direction)

Cheers,
Thomas
