Right. I implemented this. It shows up on startup only if the property
swing.defaultlaf isn't set. (If that is not what you wish, let me know,
I can pull it into a menu if that is better).

Thinking about it, it may make sense to actually ask the user for what
L&F he prefers. At this point the L&F still can be changed, as opposed
to later, when the app is running.

I have fixed the issues with internal frames and the slider. But you are
right, the BasicLookAndFeel is slightly more consistent than Metal L&F
at this point. Metal is half-Metal half-Basic ATM. I have changed to
GNULookAndFeel as default.
