>From the HIG, Chapter 6, section "Text entry fields" [1]:

  "Label the entry field with a text label above it or to its left,
   using sentence capitalization. Provide an access key in the label
   that allows the user to give focus directly to the entry field."

It would be very sad to see this bug in a shiped desktop knowing that it
could have been solved.
