Correct a BiDi bug in Delphi

Title: correct a BiDi bug in Delphi?
{
When you set the BiDiMode in you form to bdRightToLeft, you do only HALF mirroring.
Since Win98 (Hebrew/Arabic version) mirror it's envirement completly
(the Minimize, Close, Maxmize buttons are on the Left, and the Icon is on the right).
How can we do it in delphi ?

procedure TForm1.CreateParams(var Params : TCreateParams);

inherited CreateParams(Params);
Params.ExStyle := WS_EX_LEFT or WS_EX_RTLREADING or WS_EX_LEFTSCROLLBAR or WS_EX_LAYOUT_RTL;
{WS_EX_LEFT to set the text caption to the right,
use WS_EX_RIGHT to set the caption to the left}
end;
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
BiDiMode := bdLeftToRight; //A must !!!
end;
{The result is Right to Left (including the buttons, the icon and the system menu) }
