Thanks. I added setEnabled() control of the shrinkSWTButton [1]. Impressing
how even the simplest GUI programming tasks, like "enable a button when a
certain condition is met", is complicated by the multithreading because
  - enabling the button must be done on a particular thread,
  - the condition cannot be evaluated before all components are actually
    created.

Yes, I'm seeing this too (on Linux)...
