Usually these bugs come up, because the style uses some asymmetric pixmaps, 
that do not get reversed automatically. I fixed quite a few appearences like 
this in the regular styles before the 3.0 release. The same can rather easily 
be done with window decorations. Just create a reversed pixmap and load that 
one in case QApplication::reverseLayout() returns true.

Yes. Fixing painting errors in reverse mode (due to wrong pixmaps or other 
smaller issues) can go into the branch.
