Is this a common use
sometimes. I believe you can have a lot of commons strings, various symbols etc which can be shared between several widgets. For instance you can have several opened windows of the same type (say like several opened documents) of which there is no reason to duplicate the data. Also strictly speaking we would need to distinguish between two alignments: 1. row indentation (right, left, centre) 2. position of the label relative to the widget The first one is a sole property of the label and if the second (which is rather what we have in mind here) would be property of widget then you can share labels between widgets even if they would have different position relative to them. Think like images - the same image can be shared by many widgets.
