[Gtk-sharp-list] Left-justified text in a label

[Ben Motmans]

Alignment alignment = new Alignment(1.0f, 0.5f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
alignment.Add(new Label("H: left, V: center"));

the first parameter is for horizontal alignment
0.0f = left
0.5f = center
1.0f = right

the second parameter is for vertical alignment
0.0f = top
0.5f = center
1.0f = bottom
