When you pass to the label SWT.RIGHT, SWT.LEFT or SWT.CENTER in GTK2 it aligns Label properly, when you run same code with GTK3, it aligns label incorrectly.

To test it:

1.Open HelloWorld2.java
2. Change label constructor to this:
    	Label label = new Label (shell, SWT.RIGHT);

  When you run with GTK2: label/imabe is aligned to the right
  When you run with GTK3: it still aligned  to the left


 My Findings:

 Label.createHandle  line:

 if you change line: 		

handle = gtk_box_new (OS.GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL, false, 0);

 to

handle = OS.gtk_hbox_new(false, 0);

It works with both GTK2 and GTK3.

If you change orientation to Vertical:

handle = gtk_box_new (OS.GTK_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL, false, 0);

it seems to work too.

Possible causes: sizing of widgets ? incorrect packing in gtk_box_new ?
