FYI:
Good news is that I've just got implemented this in Kexi 1.6 with about four 
lines of code. It was possible because we've got a special "auto field" widget 
there that is comprised of two widgets: label and the actual editor.

I also think about adding "hilighting the label when the buddy is focused".
