Support RTL languages

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Now Marave doesn't have full support for RTL languages like Arabic. You can
see that in screen shots comparing with Kwrite.
I have attached a test text arabic file.

Indeed it is broken. I am looking at it right now.

Looks like a Qt bug:

Luckily there seems to be a simple workaround. Could you try r392?

The widget layout has to be mirrored when using RTL.

As of r395, the on-screen layout should be mirrored when using RTL languages.

If there's anything that looks weird, post it in this issue.

Ok, I broke Qt 4.5 support again. I'll fix it in a minute.

I will tested when I change my setting to full Arabic setting but what I want an
option like what is in Kwrite see the screenshot.

You can read more about the auto detecting for BiDi direction and kwrite here:

I don't see any LTR/RTL options there?

There is already support to switch from RTL to LTR in a document using the RMB 
menu, 
but I have no idea of how these things work.

In r418, I switch the previous/next icons when in a RTL locale.
