    Yeah, that's a HUGE improvement. But playing with the beta, the biggest speed enhancement seems to be in the networking code -- it's a lot cleaner, faster, and not nearly as buggy as 1.4.1

    Read the Swing release notes dude. They support GTK theming as long as it uses a certain GTK engine. They are attempting to support all GTK engines, but evidently it's not easy.
