Note that developers should avoid GTK+ 2.x/GLib 2.x-only stuff (and, in 

particularly, should disregard all the renaming they did of some
routines, as the old names work Just Fine in 2.x but the new names don't
work in 1.2[.x]).

unaligned access for you, and will, on at least some platforms, cause
the program to be terminated.
Ethereal supports both platforms with GLib 1.2[.x]/GTK+ 1.2[.x] and GLib
2.x/GTK+ 1.3[.x] and 2.x. If at all possible, either use only
mechanisms that are present in GLib 1.2[.x] and GTK+ 1.2[.x], use #if's
to conditionally use older or newer mechanisms depending on the platform
on which Ethereal is being built, or, if the code in GLib or GTK+ that
implements that mechanism will build with GLib 1.2[.x]/GTK+ 1.2[.x],
conditionally include that code as part of the Ethereal source and use
the included version with GLib 1.2[.x] or GTK+ 1.2[.x]. In particular,
if the GLib 2.x or GTK+ 2.x mechanism indicates that a routine is
deprecated and shouldn't be used in new code, and that it was renamed in
GLib 2.x or GTK+ 2.x and the new name should be used, disregard that and
use the old name - it'll still work with GLib 2.x or GTK+ 2.x, but will
also work with GLib 1.2[.x] and GTK+ 1.2[.x].
