orca preferences

Hello,
Here's a real puzzler.
After starting orca, I get the preferences buttons.  When I
hit the 
keypad-8 key I hear
Preferences Quit label Help
I think we all know what the three buttons are all about. 
What does the 
word "label" indicate?

A related question is that navigation between the buttons
can be done 
with the tab (as expected) but also with the arrow keys
(why).  

Chris

That's a stupid Orca-ism.  In order to visually separate the
Help button 
from the other two buttons, we put an empty label in there. 
We 
definitely should use the layout manager better so we can
use it to do 
spacing instead of an empty label, but you've got me how to
do it.  I 
tried and couldn't figure it out (I've never met an IDE that
I liked and 
Glade joins the crowd that keeps me scratching my head).

I'm not sure, but it's probably because the toolkit supports
this.  I 
don't think there's anything special we did to make that
happen.
