Of course you can use a custom widget. But I want this behaviour for all
labels. It is that way in Windows, and I think it's a great feature.
The application using the label shouldn't need to worry what kind of
label it is. And for those who don't want it maybe it could be turned
off.

There are of course problems, because labels are used for button texts
and menus and all sort of things. But I'd still want it :)

Happy new year everybody, and remember that the new year comes to us in
Sweden before it comes to the USA :)
