I installed the new 3.6 release candidate (RC2), and ran it with the "--laf com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel" switch to use the JDK's (SUN JDK 1.4.2_04) GTK L&F. On the welcome screen, all the links ("Using Netbeans IDE" and assorted ">>More information") look strange as compared to running with the Metal L&F, having a raised grey button effect.

GTK L&F is not even fully supported yet, not a high priority.
By the way, we have new Welcome screen and links look much better ;)
it's been fixed by the new welcome screen in 4.0
