Bug Description

Looking at the latest build of the calculator, it's easy to guess that labels can be assigned to any of the operands, as there are clickable pencil icons next to each one of them.

However, there is no pencil icon to edit the top label for the whole calculation, which makes it difficult to find out where to click to modify it. I realize that the top label should be populated automatically from the GPS location, but there might be cases in which it needs to be added manually (e.g. GPS not available or turned off), which do not seem to be covered by the calculator user journeys:

Clarification from design team from IRC

<dpm> hi jounih, thanks for joining us. Can you give us some guidance on the font sizes for the labels in the calculator app?
<jounih> dpm: no probs, let me pull up the designs
<dpm> jounih, particularly the top label, the one that describes the calculation
<dpm> jounih, the textual description on top of the calculation, which should be the location if GPS is available
<jounih> looking at it now, 2 mins
<dpm> jounih, np, essentially the @BOROUGH MARKET text on the second slide at http://ubuntuone.com/6SCbeShDiJCjqxmHvyzDkh
<jounih> dpm: ok that one is xx-small, font weight is medium
<jounih> dpm: for some reason we have px sizes for the fonts on ubuntu-calculator-app/design/calculator_design_notes.pdf - we'll update those with the SDK standard font sizes instead.
