Re: startup edit works only when run from ide

Your change in UIDefaults is getting clobbered on startup.

core.swing.plaf sets the look and feel and initializes a bunch of stuff in
UIDefaults.  Set your module to have a runtime dependency on it, so you
ensure your code gets run after the look and feel is set (which will nuke
anything you did to UIDefaults) and after anything code in there might do
to the thumb size.
