[dash] Rating stars in right-to-left locales behave inconsistently.

[Haggai Eran]

When using a right-to-left locale, the rating stars in the dash (e.g. in the applications lens) are displayed mirrored (this is the expected rendering, except for the fact that they are aligned to the left, instead of to the right).
However, when clicking a star, instead of marking all the stars from the rightmost star to the currently clicked star, the widget behaves as if the click was onto a left-to-right locale. For instance, if the second star from the left is clicked, then the two right-most stars are marked. This example is captured in the attachement. After clicking at the mouse position in the screenshot, which is at the second star from the left, the two right-most stars are marked.
