IDK why people are bothered so much by this.  I hate Swing only because it's so
sluggish-feeling, but GTK on Windows doesn't bother me even though it looks
non-native.  Similarly, I doubt DFL on Linux would bother me if I used Linux as my
desktop OS.

My only gripe with DWT is, AFAIK, it doesn't work for D2 yet and I've got too much
other stuff on my plate to fix this myself.
