[vtp-dev] Themes

I've committed a second theme to the codebase under the
org.eclipse.vtp.desktop.editors.themes.mantis project.  There is a temporary
preferences page at the root of the preferences dialog called "Graphical
Editor" that lets you switch your theme.  You have to close and reopen your
applications for the theme to take affect.

    I've tried to illustrate some of the capabilities of the theme system by
changing the line pointer artwork, adding a directional tick to line
segments, and changing the way the elements are visually displayed.  This is
just the tip of the iceberg however as the theme system has full control
over not only look but the feel of the elements on-screen.

    I'd like to open up discussion on how this capability might be extended
to the dialogs that show the various properties of the elements as well.
