 Is there really need to have two versions of icons, LTR and RTL? I have
 never seen such an overkill, IMHO, and would rather attribute it to badly
 designed icons if they don't fit in RTL - not mirrored.

No, separate LTR and RTL versions are needed only for a few select icons --
those dependent on text direction. For example: undo, redo, (the new Tango
icons use color to distinguish the two), superscript, subscript, bullets,
numbering, and I'm sure there are some more, but it's not very many.

 On the other hand it makes sense for the bullets. So why don't we prepare a
 special icon set for RTL, i.e. put designers in charge and not the devs.

It'd be very easy to do -- we just need devs to make it so that an RTL setting
prefers icons suffixed with _rtl and doesn't flip any icons. It'd be good to
get a list of the icons that LibreOffice currently flips, so that we have a
list of RTL icons to make.

 So other than the number list icon, are there any other icons that would
 need an RTL version?

All icons that are currently being flipped need to be replaced with RTL
versions.

Many of those may be perfectly legible when flipped and, in some icon sets, may
look exactly the same as their RTL versions would, but generally it's better
practice to produce RTL versions than rely on flipped icons. For example, some
icon sets are lit asymetrically (e.g. from the top left) and flipped icons look
out-of-place among correctly-lit icons. Additionally, some icons that perhaps
should be flipped aren't because they contain text -- superscript and subscript
for example.

Hi Mirek2,

It would be great if you can send in an image of how it incorrectly looks as it
looks fine in my theme.

It's only visible in one icon in the screenshot. Take a close look at the
numbering icon and you'll see that the numerals are inverted.
