Well, we included it, but it wasn't the default....

We were just talking about it the other day, actually... the plan is
either to improve the Metal theme so it looks and behaves more like
proper Java, or to implement a Java pluggable look-and-feel that sucks
up the current gtk theme and applies as much of it as possible to any
running Java apps.  Or possibly both  :o)

Cheeri,
