Re: Label justification

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

For left justification use:
   gtk_misc_set_alignment(GTK_MISC(label), 0.0, 0.5);
For right justification use:
   gtk_misc_set_alignment(GTK_MISC(label), 1.0, 0.5);

The effects of gtk_label_set_justify are only apparent if the label
contains multiple lines of text -- it specifies the alignment of the lines
with respect to the other lines, rather than the widget's allocation.
