(following on from IRC)

The class DepotPreferencesFrame contains the following:

   String classname = UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName();
   UIManager.setLookAndFeel( classname );

It would be interesting to see what happens if this is removed in which case
the LAF should default to the Swing Metal LAF.  In the meantime I'll add a
menubar to Depot to include stuff like selecting the applicable LAF as
suggested so we can do some experiments.  This will also make it possible to
select the profile your managing and do more stuff concerning importing and
exporting of data.

Cheers, Steve.
