Updating status_whiteboard field to reflect A11Y team's assessment 
of accessibility impact.

Not really sure how is best to do this ... maybe 
just install the key bindings backwards for the
menus if gtk_widget_get_default_direction() is 
RTL. 

This won't handle change-on-the-fly of widget direction,
but practically speaking, that's not going to happen
in real uses, just in testgtk.

The "clean" way to do it would probably to allow 
separate RTL and LTR binding sets to be installed
for a GtkWidget class - extend:;

GtkBindingSet*  gtk_binding_set_by_class(gpointer        object_class);

to take a GtkTextDirection parameter. Shouldn't be
that hard to implement, but seems like a bit of
overkill.

Or, going in the unclean direction, you could simply
make GtkMenu interpret GTK_MENU_DIR_PARENT and 
GTK_MENU_DIR_CHILD backwards in RTL mode, but that
seems like a real mess to me.

Changing on the fly will happen in real world usages.
I need to support per worksheet (somewhat like notebook a tab)
directionality in gnumeric.

I don't think it's sensible to flip the auxilliary UI elements -
it's going to be very strange of the auxilliary UI elements
don't follow the message language.

Apologies for spam... marking as GNOMEVER2.3 so it appears on the official GNOME
bug list :)

Here is the "real mess" approach. Note the extra hack of also flipping
prev and next for menubars. Works nicely.
