I rewieved the issue now. In wx2.6, the text-on-left-side-only
restriction is gone, but this won't help us too much: What we need is
left-aligned text, and right-aligned checkbox to position all
descriptive text and all controls aligned; a checkbox won't allow this.
Guillaumes patch will simply add all descriptive text for checkboxes to
the right of the box itself, this looks really ugly for most dialogs (we
have this on the options dialog, but this is different because we don't
need to give a consistent look&feel as in the case of pgsql objects
dialogs, so we could order the controls to look nicely).
