[Dylan McCall <DylanMcCall@xxxxxxxxx>]

lielf, this is fixed in ubiquity-slideshow. The patch was pushed to
trunk a few days ago. It was not fixed in the slideshow (rather, its fix
depends on Ubiquity's fix) since the surrounding text is all LTR anyway,
so that could look pretty awful.

The remaining portion of this lies in Ubiquity, which needs to detect
whether to use RTL or not. The problem Evan has been running into is
that there is no particularly easy way to detect whether a language is
RTL or LTR using the existing APIs. GTK does so when it first loads by
checking its own translations for a string that says either
"Direction:RTL" or "Direction:LTR". Ubiquity could do the same thing as
GTK, but the smoother (and lower maintenance) approach is to centralize
that kind of information somehow.

At any rate, we have until Lucid to figure something out. Any ideas are
appreciated :)

Binary package hint: ubiquity

When I installed ubuntu 9.10 beta in Hebrew, I saw that the slideshow isn't in RTL. I have an RTL CSS file for the slideshow, but I don't know how to switch between RTL and LTR CSS files.
