Good point. I will split it out to a separate file in gtk2 which would be
easy to
copy over to gtk.

Real time stats?   What stats are those?

(
Would it be those from the patch that Francesco Fondelli mailed to the list
in late June?
That only worked with real-time captures?
That  patch should be reworked to use the tap api, tapping IP (or TCP? or
UDP?)
to work regardless of whether we do it live or from a capture file.
