 As I've seen on the public Wiki through the explanation of the webcam
 logo, the OLPC project work on removing the European-culture-based
 symbols.

 The 'Undo' icon in Abiword is a curved arrow from the right to the left.
 As we read from left to right, it evokes us a move backwards. But for
 people whose language is written from right to left, it isn't easy to get
 what this icon is (anyway, even if I'm European, I think it's not
 intuitive).

 I have no solution to propose, or maybe an arrow from the bottom to the
 top, but it's not convincing.
