i dont' know Gtk+ already do this or not but i just got curious
reading this paragraph.

does Gtk+ allows users to customize focus direction when tab is
pressed?  I mean, when you are using Gtk+ app under some locale, which
language writes right to left, shouldn't the focus on hbox move from
right to left?

I don't speak thouse languages and never used Gtk+ apps under those
locale, so i might be way off.
