Checkboxes and clickable area

Hiya,

checkboxes have the habit of being toggled wherever you click on them. Not 
just on the actual checkable box, but also on the label. 

Using layouts, checkboxes may become very large, the label is simply stretched 
to the width dictated by the layout.

Imagine a checkbox:

[x] Check me
|<--                             width                           -->|

There is no visual hint where the checkbox ends (you might think it ends, 
where the text ends). But clicking anywhere next to the label activates the 
checkbox!

I find this behavior rather irritating (I accidentally toggled checkboxes, 
when I just wanted to give focus to a dialog) and submitted a bugreport to 
TT. Unfortunately, that behavior is "Windows compatibility".

We could create a KCheckBox to fix that.

Opinions?

Cheers
Carsten Pfeiffer
