Pure GTK+ test case (499 bytes, text/plain)

Description Thomas Thurman 2007-06-03 06:31:54 UTC 
Someone reported that Metacity drew the titles of windows which were partly in an RTL language (Arabic, Hebrew...) backwards. This was confirmed and fixed (see bug 438944). The problem still exists in libwnck, though, and needs to be fixed.

If nobody else does this by tomorrow sometime I'll try and put a patch together.

Note that a patch for the window selector will also be needed, I guess.

Pure GTK+ test case

This is a pure GTK+ test case, using a GtkLabel. The problem is happening there too.
