I now committed my changes. The option to change the direction of side
windows is called `window-sides-reversed' and allows to change the
direction permanently or have it depend on the frame's main window.

Well, the situation with side windows is not that much different. You
could change the menubar layout whenever the selected (non-minibuffer)
window or all windows on a frame show right-to-left text.

Please test the new option. As a side effect I also added a completely
new command ‘window-swap-states’ which could be of general use.
