Digress:-
Some languages like Arabia and Hebrew writes from right to left.
When (sometimes) you browse those sites with these two languages, the scroll
bar is on the right hand side of the browser (e.g. Internet Explorer), I just
guess they may also like to have the "mirror image" of lyx, not
just port-siders only :-)

Is there anything in LyX a left-handed person might want different?
I think most of the support goes in the OS: left handed mouse,
and anything you might want change about the keyboard.
And you can already put the toolbars wherever you like them, but I am not sure
that actually matters.
