Comment from the developer:

"Changing the layout here probably isn't as simple as it seems, but it
definitely could be improved."

Title:
  Collapsible menus on Rhythmbox have their arrows on the wrong side

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Confirmed
Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application:
  New
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The arrows that indicate the state of the collapsible menu in the
  Rhythmbox browser are on the wrong side of their respective menus. The
  attached screenshot shows that they are on the right on the menu, when
  they should be on the left for the following reasons:

  1. The large space between the end of the menu name and the arrow make
  it unclear that there is a relationship between the two, leading to
  user confusion.

  2. Having the arrows on the left is what user's have been trained,
  through their use of software, to expect. Having them on the right
  violates the principle of least astonishment [1].

  I propose that the arrows be moved over to the left.
