I've seen a number of programs duplicate this layout code to achieve the
bolded heading and indented content, as seen here:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/controls.html#controls-frames
It appears that even the HIG actually includes sample code to do it:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/layout.html#layout-dialogs

Wouldn't it make more sense to make this a GTK widget?
(I'm not criticizing your patch directly-- it just reminded me of this
issue.)
