[Desktop-packages] [Bug 40330] Re: mouse pointer should flip horizontally when mouse orientation is left-handed

When the mouse is set to left-handed, the mouse pointer is not affected visually by the setting so it continues to point the same direction (slightly to the left). I think that the mouse pointer should be reversed so that it points slightly to the right when the mouse is set to left-handed. The ideal solution whould be to automatically flip the relevant mouse pointers horizontally on-the-fly so that regardless of the pointer theme they are reversed when the mouse orientation is set to left- handed. However, some pointers in a theme would need to remain unaffected (like left/right window resize) which complicates the implementation of this solution. Another solution would be to ship two pointer themes: The default theme plus a slightly modified, left-handed variation of the default theme in which the affected pointers have been flipped horizontally. This is probably the most simple solution to implement for Dapper.
