Centered texts often don't look nice



Pretty often, texts are centered.  The texts would look much better if
they were presented left justified.

Is this a known limitation or is it useful that I start to report these
cases as bugs?  Here's one example
(gnome-utils/gsearchtool/gsearchtool.c):

static GtkWidget *
create_locate_page(void)
{
	GtkWidget *w, *vbox, *hbox;
	static GtkWidget *buttons[2];

	vbox = gtk_vbox_new(FALSE, GNOME_PAD_SMALL);
	gtk_container_border_width(GTK_CONTAINER(vbox), GNOME_PAD_SMALL);

	w = gtk_label_new(_("This is an interface to locate.  If you type in "
			    "a simple string it\nwill be matched as a subset "
			    "of the full path, and if you type\nin a string "
			    "with wildcards, it will have to match the full "
			    "path."));
	gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(vbox), w, FALSE, FALSE, 0);

You'll find much more examples in preferences dialogs.
