    Has anybody else noticed that Athena Command widgets with the
    "roundedRectangle" shape style look awful?

Yep, immediately upon the feature being implemented.  This is a side-effect
of the X pixelization rules for filled arcs.  They aren't symmetric, and
they look pretty ugly at small diameters, which is what's used for rounded
rects.
