It is NOT an "interesting trick"; it is a silly fudge.

What is even odder, is that using labelWidth, one gets a duplication of 
the NAME
of the checkbox; and that reduplication does not appear in the 'label' 
bit of the prefs palette.

If one has already set a label, one gets an awful mess on setting the 
labelWidth.

This is something that could be addressed in an update; to allow 
checkbox buttons to
have a 'textLeft' prop that could either be true or false.

Oh, bye-the-bye; does anyone know how to get one's desktop icons with 
XFCE on the right of the screen
rather than the left; like on a Mac?

Richmond.
