Along this line, may I make a feature request/suggestion?

In the wxpython gui, when I setup the display options for a vector 
feature, the choice of which column to use for the labels is on one tab, 
but the display=shape,attr,cat etc is on another tab. Even tho' I know 
this, I've found myself often selecting the the attribute column, and 
forgetting to enable display of attributes, then wondering why the 
labels don't display.
Is it possible to auto-magically enable display=attr once an attribute 
column is selected for labeling?
Thanks,
Micha
