Use BEFORE and AFTER.

You have two independent set of options:

	1) justification of items withing the field.  This can be
	   LEFT, RIGHT, CENTER_X for X, and TOP, BOTTOM, CENTER_Y for Y.

	2) relative placement of icon and label.  This can be
	   BEFORE, AFTER, ABOVE, BELOW.  


So suppose I have a rectangle:


	+----------------------+
        |                      |
	|       @ label        |	BEFORE and CENTER_X, CENTER_Y
        |                      |
        +----------------------+

and:

	+----------------------+
        |                      |
        |                     @|
	|                 label|	ABOVE and RIGHT, CENTER_Y
        |                      |
        +----------------------+

and:

	+----------------------+
        |                      |
        |                      |
        |  label               |
	|@                     |	BELOW, BEFORE, and LEFT, BOTTOM
        +----------------------+


Hope this helps; there are lots of possibilities...
