Screenshot of the problem

See attached screenshot. It's probably been like that since f32c32059a96186cac819cd2bd2b6653c2ce04d0 because halign=START is not enough for multiline labels. If the label's allocation is larger than the PangoLayout it contains, the text will still be centered since xalign=0.5. I won't attach a patch since I don't know how important the xalign-freedom is (or why the UI in EmptyBoxes is built the way it is).

Turns out there really is no way of fixing this with current gtk+. I think gtk+ should provide alternative API before deprecating existing one. I'll assign this to gtk+ now and insert a work around with a URL to this bug in the comment.

GtkLabel: add x/yalign properties

Since it turns out that x/yalign can't be quite equivalently
replaced by h/valign, bring them back as label properties, so
we can eventually get rid of GtkMisc.
