Put the labels in an alignment widget and then attach the alignment to
the table. Here's an example:

GtkWidget *add_label_to_table( GtkWidget *table, gint left, gint top,
gchar *str )
{
  GtkWidget *label;
  GtkWidget *align;

  align = gtk_alignment_new( 1, 1, 0, 0 );
  label = gtk_label_new( str );
  gtk_widget_show( GTK_WIDGET(label) );
  gtk_misc_set_padding( GTK_MISC( label ), 5, 0);
  gtk_container_add( GTK_CONTAINER(align), label );
  gtk_widget_show( GTK_WIDGET(align) );
  gtk_table_attach_defaults( GTK_TABLE(table), align, left, left+1, top,
top+1 );

  return label;
}

This will right align the label. Change the arguments to
gtk_alignment_new() to get your desired affect.
