Comment (by Sewar):

 Why we use two different CSS files at the same time?

 In [http://wordpress-ar.sourceforge.net WP-Arabic] we was changed a lot
 parts in [http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-admin/wp-admin.css
 wp-admin.css] ([http://wordpress-ar.sourceforge.net/wp-admin/wp-admin.css
 Arabic version]) to make it RTL and using Arabic fonts, i think the best
 way is:
 {{{
 <?php if ( ('rtl' == $wp_locale->text_direction) ) : ?>
         <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl')
 ?>/wp-admin/wp-admin-rtl.css?version=<?php bloginfo('version'); ?>"
 type="text/css" />
 <?php else: ?>
         <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl')
 ?>/wp-admin/wp-admin.css?version=<?php bloginfo('version'); ?>"
 type="text/css" />
 <?php endif; ?>
 }}}
 the same thing for themes

 And we need to change HTML tag:
 {{{
 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 }}}
 To:
 {{{
 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="rtl" xml:lang="ar"
 lang="ar">
 }}}

 BTW, don't forget TinyMCE, there are variable "directionality" for RTL in
 initArray should be synced with RTL setting, and mce_buttons should be
 reversed.
