currently the option to change the text direction doesn't allow changing the
text direction inside the chrome. this is needed sometimes, like changing a
sessage subject (RTL for hebrew subject).
to Reproduce:
1. go to Tools->Options
2. click inside the 'Location' textbox and try to change the text direction by
Ctrl+Shift+X
Actual results:
Nothing happens.
Expected results:
the text direction should change to RTL.

except for a few places, most places need to by fixed LTR.

Accel+Shift+X won't be added globally, it's not a standard keyboard shortcut,
and I would really like to drop it once we can support the right keyboard
shortcuts (per the OS default/popular third-party solution). To be clear,
Ctrl+Right/Left-Shift (on Windows and Linux) and Ctrl+Arrows (on OS X) will be
supported globally, once we can actually support them.
That said, we can add the "Switch Text Direction" command to the defualt
xul-input element context menu (when bidiui is turned on).
For now, moving this to Toolkit->XUL widgets.

So this is about adding a "direction" property on xul:textboxes?
