     Widget that displays a small amount of text.

Description

     A very common use of GtkLabel is to display text that describes or
     makes some comment about the use of an adjacent widget. If you need
     to display a great deal of text, use GtkText instead.

     Note that labels do not generate events. If you want to catch
     events (e.g. from a mouse click) you will need to put the label in
     a GtkEventBox.

     See also: GtkEditable, GtkEventBox, GtkText.
