All activities (except Terminal and Journal) are always LTR despite the locale

[Khaled Hosny]

After updating to one of the recent joyride builds (can't recall the
exact build, but somewhere in the last 2 days) all activities now are
left to right; toolbar is LTR etc..., despite of the local. Only
Terminal and Journal are RTL. Also, activities now doesn't respect the
default sans-serif font from fontconfig settings. 
This all are new regressions that didn't exist before. Looking at log
files, I see lots of dbus.* messages that doesn't show in Terminal or
Journal logs, see the attached log.
