(Sorry. The previous email went out before I had finished it.)

Yes, I prefer that.

The problem was that when the label takes up all horiztonal space, there
is just a big gap between it the label's left-aligned content and the
button. In the desktop UI, we also now take up all available space, but
we use a GtkEntry, so the extents of the widget are there to see.

I don't think we would want to spend time making that aspect of the gap 
between the data and the Open buttons themeable.
