The container-child rule no longer seems to apply for Swing controls.  I too
suspect that there is some way to do it with the UIManager or UIDefaults of
the Look and Feel part of Swing, but I can't seem to find the right place to
set it.  I've also noticed that different VMs seem to handle this a little
differently.  The IBM, Inprise, MS and Sun VMs all look a little different.
I'm assuming that they just use different default fonts.  It's most
noticeable in the fonts used for menu objects.

thanks,
Darcy.
