Well, as far as I could see, the Window Manager gives you the basic
window surrounding furniture - the close/maximise/minimise etc., but
nothing inside the window of a Swing app. A KDE L&F would produce KDE
style menus and other gadgets - probably via some sort of peering(?) so
it could read the configured KDE settings and do things the way the
current version of KDE does them. inc. colour and shape choices.
Peering, of course, defeats the object of Swing. :-} I suppose you could
reimplement the QTLib gadgets in Java, but you'd still have to read
system/user config files to know what settings to use.
