Swing can definitely make it look "prettier" on linux, and there are
some nice add-ons which were developed that you can use with Swing that
allow for a VERY flexible Look and Feel usage, much like that of gtk+ on
linux.

A JFrame does extend a Frame, but it doesn't work that way with all the
components, as many of them don't have an AWT counterpart (like
JTabbedPane, or JTable).  In most of those tables they would extend
Canvas or Component.

BTW, I ended up having a LOT less time this weekend than I would have
hoped, as my parents were in town and I spent a lot of time with them. 
Just to get the stuff in CVS I may check in things without all the
structure and "clean up", and things can always be moved and modified
later, and it will be much easier to do that with everything in CVS, as
I won't have to make all the changes at once.

For example, does JFrame extend Frame?  .. or does it extend JPanel?..  Can Swing make it look prettier on Linux..?  (if the answer is yes to that...then... I'm swinging..)
