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.

that you don't have to have "gtk/prefs_dlg.c" to get it defined - future
non-GTK (text mode, curses, etc.) programs wouldn't have it.

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.

into "gtk/ui_util.c", and move the declarations of those UI utilities
out of "util.h" into "ui_util.h". (The header file is in the top-level
directory, rather than the "gtk" directory, because it declares
window-system-independent interfaces to routines with
window-system-dependent implementations.)
Add to "gtk/ui_util.c" a routine to set the window and icon title.
Use that routine to make the title of an Ethereal top-level window be
{filename} - Ethereal
if there's a capture open, and have "{filename}" be "<capture>" if it's
a temporary capture file.

but does not link. Perhaps someone who understands the MS tools can help
out. I made it link a few months ago, but with different version of glib/gtk+.
I can't remember how I made it link.
Most of the compatibility issues were resolved with adding
#ifdef HAVE_UNISTD_H the the source code. Please be sure to add this to all
future code.

why I had to swap fields (data = w) in some of the callback functions when
I added support for gtk+-1.1. Because of the use of gtk_signal_connect_object,
the wrong value was being sent to the callback function. We were just lucky
that with gtk+-1.0 it worked.
gtk_signal_connect_object is for use with callbacks that take one argument.
gtk_signal_connect is for use with callbacks that take two arguments.

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.

Tests for GTK versions are done during compilation, not during "./configure".
The big problems have been taken care of in this patch (functional change
in the packet clist and conversion of menu_factory to item_factory), but
plenty of smaller problems with dialogue boxes abound. I have fixed
a small problem with file_open*(), but have left 2 comments in just in case
I'm not going about this the right way. Can someone verify?
