Well, there you go.  I over-graded to openjdk 14 and now the GUI comes
up at a reasonable size.  Thanks for the solution.  I didn't realize
my JDK was so out of date.  (I avoid Java like the plague, so ...)

Do you think it is worth putting this in the documentation for other
people running archaic versions of Java?

Cheers.
