Re: Question concerning to locale direction detection

Yes, I understand that GTK is, eventually, the one who is managing and
detecting directions of widgets. I am not a developer, but my guess is
that Abiword asks/retrieves the data of widget alignment from GTK, is
it correct? If so, where code that is responsible to such scenario can
be found?
