@Paul: I'm very very sorry for that but I don't think I fully understand your 
comment due lingual problems I have (Understanding written texts..). If I did 
understood you correctly you meant that because mixed (RtL and LtR) interface 
is unpredictable, RTL mirroring should not be automatic? Again, very sorry I 
couldn't fully understand you. If this is what you meant then from a little 
research I made about RtL support in Unity I found on OMG! Ubuntu a comment 
Mark Shuttleworth left on their review for Unity saying that decision is to 
keep consistency and mirror Unity interface at some point not mentioned.
(Source comment: "For RTL languages, as discussed in LP and agreed, the 
interface will be mirrored in a future release. Patches to implement that are 
welcome, otherwise we'll get to it in due course." 
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/unity/)
So as I understand things it's not a question of "if to?" but "when?"?
Everything is already mirrored under RTL languages  except for Unity itself - 
GTK and nautilus are mirrored with or without Unity there! Until now RTL used 
to have full mirror support (except for default terminal input).
**keep in mind: technical users can easily switch between languages and get an 
LtR interface while some daily RtL users can not sometimes - it should be human 
to everyone, in their native language. developers (including me!) can always 
use all sort of patches daily work does not allow.
Thank you very much for this attention to the subject.. and Again - sorry for 
my lingual problems I tend to have sometimes.
