Re: ot but need help does gtk+ work with Java 1.4.2_04?

Why not try setting it with SwiXml?

in the root element of your XML document you should be able to add a  
plaf attribute whose value is the fullly qualified class name of the  
plaf class you want to load.

plaf="com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel"
