4.3 M5a.

Dependent controls need to be horizontally aligned to the parent's text. We tried to compute the indent for dependent controls (see bug 341604 comment 5 for our closest solution) but failed because we do not have enough information, e.g. the margin between a check box and the starting text, or the margin after the text.

We need Button#getTextBounds() which will allow us to get the correct indent.
