- Fedora-20-Alpha-RC2-x86_64-netinst.iso installation in Arabic
  (all defaults).

- log into Gnome, click through gnome-initial-setup

- type Alt+F2 to start the dialog to enter a command

In Arabic, the label “Enter a Command” is on the wrong side
above the text entry line. 

In English, it is on the left side, in Arabic it should be on the right.

See attached screenshot.

Note how the other elements of the UI mirror correctly, the “Close”
button below that text entry line is on the right side in English
and on the left side in Arabic. 

Also the stuff in the gnome-panel seen at the top of the screen shot
is correctly mirrored.

But the label at the top of the “Enter a Command” dialog is not correctly
mirrored. 

Is the position of that label hardcoded, maybe?
