OK, I've downloaded and compiled CVS HEAD. After about 2 minutes of
testing, it seems that the next-node/previous-node buttons are
correctly ordered for a RTL language, but that
forward-history/back-history are still in the LTR orientation. I'll
play some more with it after work and see if there are any additional issues.

I'd like to see this in action before I give a definite answer (also,
I don't know how long Emacs 22 will be with us. If it's another 6
years, then...) but I think as interim solution this would be fine.

In 1997 a group of programmers started writing a desktop environment
to fix a travesty they didn't create.  Their program promptly found
its way onto un*x systems everywhere. Today, still opposed by a
software monopolist, they survive as soldiers of fortune.  If you share
their vision, if you know you can help, and if you can connect to
internet, maybe you can join... the K-Team.
