That's a stupid Orca-ism.  In order to visually separate the Help button 
from the other two buttons, we put an empty label in there.  We 
definitely should use the layout manager better so we can use it to do 
spacing instead of an empty label, but you've got me how to do it.  I 
tried and couldn't figure it out (I've never met an IDE that I liked and 
Glade joins the crowd that keeps me scratching my head).

I'm not sure, but it's probably because the toolkit supports this.  I 
don't think there's anything special we did to make that happen.
