Thank you, Timo, for your respond. I need to know the direction of the GUI widget.
In this issue, what I am attempting to solve is false direction of status messages in chat dialog of Gajim (Jabber/XMPP IM Client). Problem: Assume you are using a Left-to-right locale (e.g. English, German). If a status message is of a user with a Right-to-left nickname (e.g. Arabic) then the status message will be aligned from right direction instead of left. Realization string: %s has joined the group chat LTR nick: Timo has joined the group chat RTL nick (look to the right >>): العربية has joined the group chat RTL nick + direction_mark (LRM): العربية has joined the group chat Solution: * Detect direction/alignment of currently used locale. * Insert a direction_mark (in accord to locale) before status message.
