The way to go here would be that someone modifies KRichTextEdit + 
KRichTextWidget in kdelibs to include those changes. Then it is only 1 
additional line in an RC file to add the RTL action to KMail.

Is there a way to detect if the current locale is RTL? If so, we could only 
add the action to the toolbar if that would be the case, since LTR users don't 
need that button.

No idea about your bug with the alignment not showing, that would need to be 
solved first.
Isn't that solved by the third solution in your blog at 
http://elcuco2.blogspot.com/2008/10/qtextedit-and-qtextcursor-fun.html or am I 
missing something?

Regards,
Thomas
