Looks good. These are the changes Emacs needs, so it has a nicer first
impression for users who come from mainstream tools to give it a try.

Emacs shouldn't look old fashioned out of the box. It would be great
if it could use GTK widgets on all major GUI platforms, instead of
text buttons and stuff.
