Description Youssef Chahibi 2009-01-20 00:00:12 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.3.3 20090110 (prerelease) (Debian 4.3.2-2)
 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Using an RTL language, the position of windows buttons and icons should be mirrored, as it was in KDE3.

Hi Youssef,

I disagree. I hacked the kwin decorations to be LTR regardless of the desktop direction, since I understand that I cannot fix every single kwin decoration in kde-look.org, and explain to all those developers what's wrong.

IMHO, decorations are artistic things and not something to be affected by the desktop language.
