All the changes look fantastic and the new "look" is much much nicer  
than the old one.  Many thanks for your contributions, Ben!

I don't mind having the GUIs diverge -- I doubt if there are many  
people that regularly use more than one, and they are already rather  
different anyway.  (We try to keep shortcut keys and things like that  
roughly consistent, of course, and to avoid breaking one while  
improving another.)

Will do.  :-)
