Precise is in Beta 2.

Unity and Nux's support of RTL is in the works and not yet released.

That means RTL users get an LTR Unity interface when their hardware allows Unity.

In order to prevent widespread chaos, a temporary solution would make a fallback from Unity to Unity 2D for RTL locales.

This must be done before precise is released in order to provide a reasonable experience for RTL users in Ubuntu precise.

Your Mission, should you Choose to Accept it

Since precise is in feature freeze and already beta 2, we need to slow down time itself and then

1. Move existing code into Ubuntu RTL Team code

2. Rebase branch against Nux in precise, which is version 2.8.0

3. Provide patch against Nux in precise and attach it in the bug report

4. Package patched nux and upload to Ubuntu RTL PPA

5. Request freeze exception - Assigned: Shahar Or

6. Pray

There should also be a passage on this in the precise release notes. Assigned: Shahar Or

Progress

1. Problem identified, solution suggested

2. Fallback code written

3. Bug reported
