Comment 7 for bug 470454

Hum, I'm not an expert of the code, but if I look at netbook-launcher/nl-scroll-view.c, I can see that:

static void
nl_scroll_view_constructed (GObject *object)
{
  ....
  slider = nl_texture_frame_new (CLUTTER_TEXTURE (slider_texture), 5, 5, 5, 5);
  clutter_actor_set_size (slider, 18, 18);

  ctk_scroll_view_set_scroll_bar (CTK_SCROLL_VIEW (object), trough, slider);
  ...
}

So, we are attaching there the slider to object, which is the view being constructed.
I would say that if you use the ctk_actor_set_default_direction on the clutk actor (object), it should do the right thing, that means, putting it into the left. But I'm not a clutk hacker :-)

Can you try this or look for other part in the same file?
In any case, thanks for your work there, it's really good ;)
