It appears that starting with Qt 4.7 the layout direction of all GUI elements is now controlled by the locale. When my locale is a right-to-left one, all menus, dialogs, message boxes etc' appear from right to left. This is horrible.
The default locale in my computer is Hebrew because it is convenient to see dates and numbers in the local format but I most certainly don't want all my GUI to now be Right-To-Left.
Why did they do this all-encompassing change? Is there any way to turn it off globally?
