Well, gtk uses this approach for its own rtl support. And it has been
working ok for many years. I guess the only slightly objectionable
thing here is to use this implementation detail of GTK+ in another
module.
Right, The only alternative I can think of(*) is linking with GTK+ and making the mutter-clutter API a wrapper around gtk_widget_get_default_direction(). Not great either, though I guess it doesn't really matter, given that gtk+ is already a dependency of mutter ...
(*) besides bringing back the entire translation infrastructure for a single string - though I'm not sure multiple translation domains per module are even supported
