Change look and feel on the fly?

[fishfry]

Trying to give user radio buttons to change JFrame look and feel on the
fly via

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName();

etc. in the buttons' action listener. The code executes but the look and
feel doesn't change. What is the trick to make the JFrame change its
look and feel?
