Checkbox labels not click-sensitive with INX-based checkboxes

[Antoine Amarilli]

In the window used to define settings for the PDF export, clicking on the label for checkboxes does not toggle the checkbox. One needs to click on the checkboxes themselves to toggle them, whereas one should be able to click on the labels. This is on version 0.91, which I compiled manually.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open inkscape
2. Press Shift+Ctrl+Maj+S
3. Select the PDF filetype in the dropdown list
4. Click save
5. In the window that pops up, try clicking, e.g., on "Convert texts to paths"

The platform is amd64 and the OS is Debian Jessie. The version of the libgtk2.0-dev package used is 2.24.25-3.

Please add information about OS/platform, build env and GTK+ version to the bug description.

As far as I can tell the observed behavior is limited to check buttons in INX-based dialogs. Elsewhere the labels of check buttons are click-sensitive (e.g. Document Properties, Object Properties).

On OS X 10.7.5, testing with Inkscape 0.47, 0.48.5 r10040, 0.91 r13725 and 0.91+devel r14057:
- reproduced with check buttons [1]:
(e.g. the option 'Rasterize filter effects' in Inkscape 0.91)
Check buttons need to be clicked directly to change their status (checked or unchecked), a click on the text label has no effect.
- not reproduced with radio buttons [2]:
(e.g. the option 'Convert texts to paths' in Inkscape 0.91+devel)
Clicking on the labels of radio buttons does activate that specific choice within the group of radio buttons.

Also reproduced on Crunchbang Waldorf, Inkscape trunk rev. 14120.

Unfortunately the INX checkbox is not a real checkbox but a label packed with a single checkbutton. Fixing the bug would require some changes in src/extension/param/bool.cpp.
