alignment oddity

[Nils Philippsen <nils wombat dialup fht-esslingen de>]

Hi.

Can someone please tell me why the following doesn't work (or better: how
I get it working):

    label = gtk_label_new (_("New:"));
    gtk_misc_set_alignment (GTK_MISC (label), 0.0, 0.5);
    gtk_table_attach (GTK_TABLE (table), label, 0, 1, 0, 1,
		      0, 0, 0, 0);
    gtk_widget_show (label);

Actually, the label should get left-justified in the table cell, despite
it's centered. From gtk+-1.0 times I knew you had to perform the function
calls in a special order, so I shuffled the stuff around, to no avail.

Bye, Nils
