I think this one has been answered before by Matthew. Here's one
answer:

http://www.cs.utah.edu/plt/mailarch/plt-scheme-2001/msg00936.html

but I thought he gave a fuller answer at some point. I can't find it in
the archives, tho.

On non-X platforms, DrScheme actually looks like other apps (or, could
look like any of them if I had more time -- the platform's GUI library
is well reflected in (lib "mred.ss" "mred"), certainly).

I think that X has lagged behind a little bit, but Matthew put
significant effort into that at some point in the 200 series, I
believe.
