I offered a patch for this issue to metacity in 2010 (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612940), that would mirror the window title. They didn't accept it, since they said it should have been up to the theme designer to choose whether to mirror, or to implement a different theme for RTL. The first method would work for Ubuntu's theme, but not for more complicated themes such as Crux. I tried to start discussing the extensions required to the theme files, but never got any response.
