More info :
this bug appears in hebrew enabled vista, but maybe using an English vista with chrome 
and a UI in hebrew will reproduce it too

(No comment was entered for this change.)

I also think CW makes more sense regardless of the directionality of the UI language.

Jeremy, do you agree that it's better to use CW than CCW for RTL UI? If so, it's
trivial to fix and I can make a CL. 

i support CW (or in other words, it doesn't matter), just because we write from the 
right side, doesn't mean we see everything upside down ;)

personally, I have no preference.  I'm concerned with bicycle shedding these kinds of bugs.

Jshin, if this is ok to ask, i would like to fix it myself, as i wish to solve other 
RTL related bugs in the GUI and need the practice, if this is cool with you, let me 
know

Thank you for the feedback. I thought what program wrote is the case (Hebrew clocks run 
CW :-)) and made a patch for this and  issue 13216  ( 
http://codereview.chromium.org/119318 ). 

yoav, thank you for the offer. Without/before reading comment, I made a CL. However, 
I'm sure there are a lot of other issues you can help us with and everybody in the 
chrome team would love you to fix other RTL bugs !

Fix the in-progress download status for the RTL UI.

1. Make the download progress pie chart fill up CW even in the RTL UI. 
2. Make the filename be at the right end instead of being in the middle of the download status in the RTL UI.

BUG=13215,13216 (http://crbug.com/13215, http://crbug.com/13216)
TEST=1. Launch Chrome with --lang=he or --lang=ar. 
     2. Download a large file (like chrome mini-installer or Firefox) and go to the download tab (pressing Ctrl-J would work)
     3. The progress pie-chart should be filled up clockwise.
     4. The filename should be to the right of the download status ('5 kB of 7.2 MB - 4 mins left' in Hebrew or Arabic) instead of being put in the middle of the status string.
