Hi all,

Playing with "theapplication -reverse" I have seen that when we go to an
open dialog or we talk about a path, it is shown as it were a LTR language.
With this I mean, we always have:

/home/ereslibre/whatever/thefolder/thefile.txt

While on RTL languages what makes sense to me is having:

txt.thefile/thefolder/whatever/ereslibre/home/

What's more. If we are completely fair, we should have:

txt.thefile\thefolder\whatever\ereslibre\home\


I _know_ this can seriously crash with how things are shown in general in
GNU/Linux. Since I don't have an actual RTL language, I don't know how paths
are shown on those systems. Any hint ?


Bye and thanks,
Rafael Fernández López.
