Title:
  Window titles are misaligned in RTL languanges

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: compiz-core

  Ubuntu Gutsy (also in previous version), xgl/fglrx.

  When opening a window with a title text in RTL language, like Arabic or Hebrew,
  the title text is shown with a huge offset to the right. In most cases, it
  means that no text will be shown on the title bar at all. If the text is very long, I
  can see parts of it on the right hand corner - and somewhat beyond it, outside
  the borders of the window.
  This is not a problem with a specific decoration manager, as it appears both on
  gtk-decorator and emerald and was there with beryl and heliodor as well. This
  problem affects other compiz plugins which use the title text, such as the various app
  switchers: the rtl text is missing there as well. 
  I reported it in the past on the Beryl bugzilla, but they had replied that it
  wasn't their problem. If this is a Gnome issue, where should I report it? What
  part of Gnome is the culprit? In metacity there is no problem, and the RTL
  titles are shown correctly just like LTR titles.
