Apparently I was wrong and Maksim right, its just that with Plastique
its not so obvious due to little space around the texts. When one
increases the line-edit font and leaves the label font its more obvious.
So that rules out formlayout, but luckily its anyway just a convenience
class as the same can be done with a gridlayout.
See the following (top is formlayout, bottom is boxlayout):
