I think it was a bug in how I handled GTK that was only triggered, or at
least showed that behaviour, on windows.
The behaviour that ethereal terminated when a conversation window was closed
under windows
dissapeared some weeks ago in the CVS version.
I dont know exactly what change fixed this behaviour but it doesnt happen
for me anymore.
