Hi Lior

Strings are left-aligned inside the GTKTreeView because ATM the g-i uses 
GTK libraries v 2.0.9, while support for RTL alignement inside 
GTKTreeView widgets was introduced in GTK v. >=2.2.0.
As soon as we switch to GTKDFB 2.8.3 (an experimental iso is available 
[1]) this bug will be solved.
Note that this happens with other RTL languages too, as reported by 
Davide Viti [2].

thanks for testing

Attilio
