Better than before I would say. Thought the presets/style issue is not solved completely by this. You still do not know which style is the bad guy.
Release should be today, so your many patches can be added soon. :-)

Concerning presets, the bad guy is always the defaultpresets.xml as it is far larger than any other preset. Concerning styles, the situation may be different …

There is a little quirk: First it starts with "Initializing" at the bottom. The window shrinks for a split second, then it expands to the original size and stays like that.

Aaargh, somehow my comment 7 was mixed up. What I did say really:
It is not necessary the default.xml. When remote files are loaded they can cause large delays, especially the FreieTonne style, which loads each picture individual.

On my system the texts only use the area below the symbol and not the window width - resulting in a very large border on both sides. I think I already fixed that in the past once (or at least I tried).

This shouldn't be the case. For map styles, the loading of icons should be delayed, until the very last moment, when it is painted on the map. (But it's still fetched in EDT.)
For presets, all icons are loaded at start, afaik. This can cause delays like you describe them. The "normal" way would be to get the images in a background thread and set the icons for the menu items as soon as they arrive.
