Make sure you are setting both the alignment and the justification....

gtk_misc_set_alignment(...)
gtk_label_set_justify(...)

Are you calling both functions?  The justification is, by default,
centered.
Think of the label as existing in a box, that is just large enough to
contain
the text.  The alignment of the box, is its (x,y) offset within its
container.
The justification effects the layout of text within the box.  For single
line
labels, the justification should never matter (I think).

Hope this helps...
