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.

Reformat some (source) paragraphs, for the benefit of those with editors
that don't wrap lines in the display.
Delete some extra "=back" directives.
Fix the description of the "Preferences" dialog (it lets you control
various preferences, not just print preferences; it's the "Print" tab
that lets you control print preferences).

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.

"Edit:Preferences" and put it directly under "Edit:Filters", and to add
an "Apply" button to it, which makes the currently selected filter the
current filter and applies it to the current capture.

add DELETE and OPTIONS as request names.
Make the order of names in the AUTHORS file match that of the man page

packets that are currently being displayed from that capture.
Centralize the code to control whether "File:Save" and "File:Save As"
are enabled (and *always* have "File:Save As" enabled if you have a
capture; "File:Save" is enabled only if you have a live capture you've
not yet saved, although it does the same thing as "File:Save As").
Have the "save_file" member of a "capture_file" structure represent
*only* the file currently being *written* to by a capture, and, if there
is no capture currently in progress, have it be NULL; the name of the
file currently being *displayed" is in the "filename" member, and an
"is_tempfile" member indicates whether it's a temporary file for a live
capture or not.
Have "close_cap_file()" delete the current capture file if it's a
temporary capture file that hasn't been saved (in its entirety - saving
selected frames doesn't count). Do the same (if there *is* a current
capture file) when exiting.
The "Ready to load or capture" message is the only statusbar message in
the "main" context; "close_cap_file()" should never pop it, it should
only pop whatever message exists in the "file" context, and thus has no
need to take, as an argument, the context for the message it should pop.
Update the man page to reflect the new behavior of "File:Save" and
"File:Save As", and to reflect recent changes to "Display:Match Selected".

Document changes in this version.
Add Greg to ever-growing list of authors (he was in AUTHORS, but not
in manpage nor in main.c)
svn path=/trunk/; revision=1097
and a $HOME/.ethereal/ipxnets file. get_ipxnet_name() and other functions,
similar to get_ether_name() and friends, have been added.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=1085
dashes or colons as punctuation. Added period as a valid separator, to make
the resolve routines congruent with the display filter syntax options.
Document the fact that both /etc/ethers and $HOME/.ethereal/ethers are
used for resolving hardware address names. I did not know this until
I discovered it in resolv.c!

Rename the dissector for the Netware SAP protocol to "dissect_ipxsap()",
so as to keep its name from colliding with that of the dissector for the
Session Announcement Protocol.

We now store IPv4 addresses in host order, allowing non-equivalence
comparisons. That is, display filters with lt, le, gt, and ge will work
on big-endian and little-endian machines.
CIDR notation is now supported for IPv4 addresses in display filters.
You can test to see if an IPv4 address is on a certain subnet by using
this notation. For example, to test for IPv4 packets on a Class-C network:
ip.addr == 192.168.1.0/24

filter to search forward or backward in the list of displayed frames for
a matching frame.
When filtering the display, readjust the display to show the "current"
frame if it passed the display filter. When a file is read in, the
first frame becomes the "current" frame; when a frame is selected, it
becomes the "current" frame, and remains so *even if you unselect it*,
until another frame is selected.
Select the first frame when a file is read in.
Disable most of the "Display" and "Tools" menu items if there's no
current capture file, and enable the relevant ones if there is.

than a command name of "ethereal-dump-fields", to decide whether to run
as normal Ethereal or to just dump out the list of fields that can be
used in a display filter.
This allows us to continue to make that check without doing the regular
command line flag parsing (which we don't want to do, as we don't want
to call "gtk_init()" before making that check, as "gtk_init()" tries to
open an X display, and some people want not to have to have X running in
order to build Ethereal, or want not to have Ethereal try to open an X
connection over a slow line if it's just going to print field names to
the standard output), without having to make a link to "../ethereal"
from the "doc" directory (said link couldn't be a hard link, as ATK
apparently disallows hard links between directories, and I have the
vague impression that a symbolic link might cause other problems).

the base for numbers to be displayed in, bitmasks for bitfields, and blurbs
(which are one or two sentences describing the field).
proto_tree_add*() routines now automatically handle bitfields. You tell
it which header field you are adding, and just pass it the value of the
entire field, and the proto_tree routines will do the masking and shifting
for you.
This means that bitfields are more naturally filtered via dfilter now.
Added Phil Techau's support for signed integers in dfilters/proto_tree.
Added the beginning of the SNA dissector. It's not complete, but I'm
committing it now because it has example after example of how to use
bitfields with the new header_field_info struct and proto_tree routines.
It was the impetus to change how header_field_info works.
