An alternative course of action would be to give Telepathy messages a flag similar to MSN's RL=1, which indicates "the main context's writing direction" (as described in <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-directional_text>).

Since I don't know how RTL languages work, I can't judge whether auto-detection is enough or whether we need a flag. I'd prefer to use auto-detection if we can, though.
