yes, would be easier. but what about the space between label and field? if 
that is not clickable  (and it can be very long in KDE applications), you 
again have to move the mouse in a very directed manner.

for checkboxes that problem does not exist as the label is directly aligned 
with the box. if we do not change the left-align policy for such labels, it 
will be hard to make the area between label and field clickable.

suggestions?
