The benefit of the right alignment: It is easily comprehensible which
label belongs to which control element. This would be harder, if you
have one long and many short labels and align them left.

Their exception is the existence of options, which depend on a
previous option, i.e. in Edit->Preferences>Scheduled Transactions
"Notify before transactions are created" is only vailable, if
"Auto-create new transactions" is enabled. I am wondering, if there is
a smarter solution.

Another question: How will the elements behave for RTL writing?
