a word to use in the progress dialog, and a flag indicating whether the
display filter is to be reevaluated or not, and:
have "colorize_packet()" call that routine with "Colorizing" and
FALSE as those arguments;
have the filtering code call that routine with "Filtering" and
TRUE as those arguments;
add an exported routine to call that routine with "Reprocessing"
and TRUE as those arguments, to use to re-generate the packet
list and to re-filter the packets if a protocol preference has
been changed.
Keep track of whether preferences are changed from their initial value
by a preferences file or a command-line option, or from their previous
value by the "Preferences" dialog box; have "prefs_apply_all()" only
call the "apply" callback for a module if they have.
Call "prefs_apply_all()" after the command-line arguments have been
parsed and after "OK" has been clicked in the "Preferences" dialog box,
to notify modules of preference changes if they've registered a callback
for that.
After "OK" has been clicked in the "Preferences" dialog box, if any
preferences have changed, call the reprocessing routine, as the summary
line for some frames and/or the current display filter's value when
applied to some frames may have changed as a result of a preference
change. Do the same after "OK" or "Apply" has been clicked in the
"Display Options" dialog box (as it controls a protocol preferences
item.

same directory as the "manuf" file ("/etc" or "/usr/local/etc", most
likely).
Add a mechanism to allow modules (e.g., dissectors) to register
preference values, which:
can be put into the global or the user's preference file;
can be set from the command line, with arguments to the "-o"
flag;
can be set from tabs in the "Preferences" dialog box.
Use that mechanism to register the "Decode IPv4 TOS field as DiffServ
field" variable for IP as a preference.
Stuff that still needs to be done:
documenting the API for registering preferences;
documenting the "-o" values in the man page (probably needs a
flag similar to "-G", and a Perl script to turn the output into
documentation as is done with the list of field);
handling error checking for numeric values (range checking,
making sure that if the user changes the variable from the GUI
they change it to a valid numeric value);
using the callbacks to, for example, update the display when
preferences are changed (could be expensive);
panic if the user specifies a numeric value with a base other
than 10, 8, or 16.
We may also want to clean up the existing wired-in preferences not to
take effect the instant you tweak the widget, and to add an "Apply"
button to the "Preferences" dialog.

the preferences file fails, have it return an error indication and the
path of the preferences file, and have its caller display the dialog
box. That way you don't have to drag in the dialog box code if you're
going to use the preferences code in, say, a "line-mode" Ethereal.

I did this:
First, Havoc Pennington, in "GTK+/Gnome Application Development", in
Appendix seciton A.3.88, recommends using GtkCTree instead of GtkTree
because GtkCtree is faster, and GtkTree has limitation on its total row
height: since it must fit inside a GdkWindow, it is limited to 32,768
pixels of height. GtkTree is more flexible with regards to the types of
widgets that can be placed in the tree, but since we deal only with text,
that doesn't matter, at least for now.
Secondly, a GtkTree doesn't allow arrow-key navigation (at least as far
as I could tell). It always bothered me that the up and down arrow keys
worked in the packet list and in the hex dump, but no in the protocol tree.
GtkCTree does allow arrow-key navigation. In fact, GtkCTree is a subclass
of GtkCList (the packet list widget), so they behave a lot alike.
I went ahead and fixed the selection bar which has been bothering Richard
for a long time now. :) In the GUI preferences dialogue, you can now set
both the packet list selection bar and the protocol tree selection bar
to either "browse" or "select" mode. "browse" mode is what you're used to:
the arrow keys move an outline of the selection bar, but do not change
the selection. "select" mode does change the selection when the arrow keys
are pressed. The default behavior is set to "select", which seems more
natural for a first-time user.

option right now is the placement of the vertical scrollbars in the 3 panes.
(it's one decision; you can't have the placement of the vertical scrollbar
in the packet list pane different than the placement in the protocol tree
pane, for example).
I did this because I find it convenient to have the vertical scrollbars
on the *left* side of the text. My mouse cursor is usually expanding and
collapsing the protocol tree widgets, and once the protocol tree changes
size, I usually have to scroll. I'd rather move my mouse cursor just a few
pixels over to find the vertical scrollbar.

summary.c now provides a struct of info (see summary.h)
Changed the name of the summary dialogue callback (hence the change
in menu.c), and added a close button to the dialogue.
Moved #include <gtk/gtk.h> out of print.c and into prefs.h where it
was needed for GdkColor.

capture to a file or printer. This should eventually get the ability to
print either all the packets or only the packets selected by the display
filter, and possibly also the ability to print only packets M through N.
Get rid of "cur" member of "capture_file" structure; nobody used it.
There's no need to pass a pointer to a "dialog_button" variable to
"simple_dialog()" for the error boxes displayed if a file copy or move
fails; that dialog box is just a message box and has only an "OK"
button.
Put the declaration of "prefs" into "prefs.h".

we've shown the top-level window, because we want it to pop up on *top*
of the top-level window, rather than being hidden behind it.
Put a "strerror()"-based reason *why* the open failed in that dialog.

- Separated display and capture filters; rearranged some of the look and feel
- Lots of other miscellaneous fixes and updates
