Perhaps what we *really* should be doing is having a simplified
preferences *open* in the default image. Actually, tweaking the look is a
decent way to start exploring!
If we had full skinning, this might be an even more attractive option.
Hmm. That'd be a great tutorial. Start with the old, good, mature look,
walk people through a few tweaks, and then through changing the widgets
themselves, then some behaviors, etc.
