In case of stock icons (eg those "next", "previous", and so on) the mirroring
should be done transparently; that is, the right stock icon should be
used depending if the interface is on LTR or RTL mode; without any need
for the programer to do anything in his program.
That is the goal of stock icons after all: make things easier.
If it's not yet done like that, it should be.

For other cases, the programmer should be told about the problem;
and do something like:
if (gtk_widget_get_default_direction() == GTK_TEXT_DIR_RTL)
/* here use the rtl icon */
else
/* here use the default ltr icon */
