Bug description:
For screenreaders like orca (http://live.gnome.org/Orca) and other accessibility software associating labels with text controls provides the way to report what the text edit control for. In task editor the start date for example is not associated neither any of the other text controls. Ok the editor text control itself doesn't make sence to have a label but the others. One another note the buttons next the date controls have no description at all to acistive technologies. 

I know labels can be associated to controls programaticly but I think glade itself provides a way to do that, but glade is not very accessibile for Orca users like myself so I couldn't find it.
