I'm interested...

(As Guy already mentioned, the graphics toolkit is Gtk, not TCL/Tk)

Agreed.  I do not like (but unfortunately have to tolerate) Gtk on Linux
(my 'other' operating system).  I definitely do not like it on Win32
where so many decent common controls already exist and are more mature.

I have never looked at the UI code in Ethereal, but if there is
sufficient separation from the working code, perhaps a re-fit of native
Win32 UI wouldn't be as difficult as it initially sounds.
