OK, so it is a problem with some themes and not others. In particular with
gtk-qt. However, if the problem really is with the theme, why is it
that the next/previous buttons are OK, and only the back/forward
buttons don't look right. Perhaps whatever changes to next/previous
could also be applied to forward/back so that they also look OK in all
themes.

So the menu bar would the RTL, but the toolbar would be LTR? That's a
bit wiered, but I guess better than the current situation.
