Direction arrows.

[Diego Iastrubni]

(a little off topic)

I have found that the icons used in Qt3 (amarok, kaffeine) look funky on RTL 
(right to left) desktops. Has anyone started thinking about a fix for that 
problem?

For example, by definition the default play/next/prev icons should not reflect 
the desktop direction, which means even on RTL desktops, the order should be 
(always visually, from left to right)
	prev, play, pause stop, next

Unfortunately application developers do not always remember this (or know 
this) and they use the default layout defined by the layout system of the 
toolkit. For example Qt3 will reverse the order of the buttons on my amarok.

This shuold be in our HIG. Do we have a chapter about RTL lanaguages...?
