I Wrote about it in the past (...2011!).
http://shlomil.blogspot.co.il/2011/12/changing-text-direction-and-gnome.html
Nobody really cared back than.
So, as I wrote in the blog above, I think this issue can be solved as an input 
method plugin (or a patch to Gnome) which will let you control the invisible 
characters in the beginning of each paragraph using special hot keys. This is 
not too hard to do but I think that Gnome people do not acknowledge it as an 
issue that should be solved and will not accept a patch for it.
Want to solve it? This is what you should do:
1. Open a bug in GTK.
2. Convince them it should be fixed. (That's the hard part)
3. Propose a solution and/or patch.
