Uri: this bug is related to the web start page (the one at http://start.ubuntu.com/10.04).

Here is a RTL version of the page.

The original page is written in a bad way to support RTL, therefore I needed to make some changes and add an image (!)

A preview (Hebrew) can be found here: http://violetech.org/startpage-10.04/Google/Ubuntu_Start_Page-RTL.html

Switching the page to ltr looks broken, but better than before. Thank you for taking the time to address this, I'll try and pick this up today, finish it and land it.

Ofir, the rtl fix is committed to trunk!
I used a few bits and pieces of your patch, but had to take a different approach so we wouldn't have that extra image.

Thank you for the help.
