The string "Use file_load:" while unspecific, is exactly the length of 
space before the widgets are on the right. "Use secure kexec:" gets cut 
off by the widget, if that stays aligned with the others above/below.

Would it be preferable to push the checkbox widget out a bit to 
accommodate a clearer label?
