You could use QApplication::setReverseLayout ( bool b ):
"If b is TRUE, all dialogs and widgets will be laid out in a mirrored 
fashion, as required by right to left languages such as Arabic and 
Hebrew. If b is FALSE, dialogs and widgets are laid out left to right.

Changing this flag in runtime does not cause a relayout of already 
instantiated widgets."

You might want to ask TT to add a QWidget::setReverseLayout( bool b ) to 
Qt 4.

FWIW, I don't think that this "feature" makes any sense. But then again, 
I'm ltr-only, so what do I know.
