Left-justifying labels

[Jonathan Hayward <christos jonathan hayward gmail com>]

How do I left-justify labels? I have labels of varying lengths packed into a vbox:

    result = gtk_vbox_new(FALSE, 0);

    sprintf(text, "Ability to learn: %ld/%ld", ag, agm);
    current_label = gtk_label_new(text);
    gtk_label_set_justify(GTK_LABEL(current_label), GTK_JUSTIFY_LEFT);
    gtk_widget_show(current_label);
    gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(result), current_label, FALSE, FALSE, 0);

[and identical (apart from the string) creation of other labels]

This shows up centered. What should I do differently?
