ALl this UI teaking is just a PITA. The Windows codebase is obviously
immune to L&F changes (since each version of Windows sports another L&F), 
so it's not like we _need_ it for compatibility. At which point it just
creates more work for us to maintain... I'd just get rid if it. We should
have *one* Wine look (which does not need to match any Windows look),
and have all the others be themes, if anything.
