Maybe, but when you habve a button with no icon, that name/labe is  
exactly in the center of the button.
And it stays there whenever you resize the button.

If you have a button with an icon and "showname" = false, the icon is  
also exactly in the center of the button.
And it also stays there whenever you resize the button.

Maybe I'm thinking  a bit naive, but why shouldn't it then be possible  
(for the engine) to combine these two
"states" and the result would be "the label on top of the icon" :-)
