It doesn't seem to do that.

Actually, in my original mail I intended to propose a "GnomeLabeled"
subclass of GtkBin which would do nothing but provide its single child
with a HIG-compliant, accessible label.

Turns out this would hardly save much code as we've already got the
"mnenomic-widget" property (I'm a sucker for properties -- I do
everything with g_object_*).
