What do I call the default location is the location and status of an
application I open without a command line variable (or changes in an rc
file). The default is what I'll choose the majority of applications to
be, for special applications I'll use the variable.
I would prefer an rc file, so I can choose from the application and have
it remembered to the next session.

I agree with Tzafrir that the buttons should not be mirrored, when
changing language in an application, since it is a WM manager property.
It should be a WM option, perhaps some trick to reverse the theme or
something. Most people I know will use their current setup of WM.

Would it be possible to set default and specific behavior for the
mirrorirng? (again, perhaps in an rc file?)
If so I think it should be an option, and people will just try and see.
