The greeter RTL feature is being tracked in bug 834386.  Not sure if you
want to close the unity greeter task on this one.

** Description changed:

  Most toolkits properly deal with right-to-left, properly inverting the
  UI.
  
- When doing ISO testing, I noticed it's not quite the case for lightdm
- and unity, here are some notes of the inconsistencies I noticed:

Bug description:
  Most toolkits properly deal with right-to-left, properly inverting the
  UI.

  When doing ISO testing, I noticed it's not quite the case for unity
  greeter and unity, here are some notes of the inconsistencies I
  noticed:

  = Unity =
  - Launcher is on the left, identical to a left-to-right system
  - Indicators are on the right, identical to a left-to-right system

  = Unity Greeter =
  - User switcher is on the left, identical to a left-to-right system
  - Indicators are on the left, different from a left-to-right system

  I'm not sure what's the best as I'm not a right-to-left user myself,
  but we should either have Unity also invert its UI, making it
  consistent with what's done in the greeter's panel. Then change the
  greeter to have the user list on the right.

  Or if using the same UI as for left-to-right is OK and is what want,
  then the greeter's panel should be changed to be consistent with
  Unity's.
