By default, gtk determines the default text direction from the locale. If
you want to
set the text direction explicity, see gtk_widget_set_direction() and
gtk_widget_set_default_direction()
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-set-direction
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-set-default-direction

testgtk.c contains an example for the use of
gtk_widget_set_default_direction().
