AFAIU most complaints about (not-)using native widgets are around the
actual list widget more than the rest. So making it use that widget
inside the UI viewport would more or less silence most of the
complaints. Of course I don't tinhk this is a good solution and a full
java UI rewrite would make more sense. (Actually, to be completly
honest I tihnk a full C rewrite of apps/ is well worth the effort once
the playback engine is seperated out)
