[Lars Roland <lars.roland@xxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I patched the logging funtions controling the output to a console window 
on Win32.
We can get more information about GTK and GLib Messages now.
It is also possible to disable output of non-fatal GTK and GLib Messages 
completely by choosing GUI-Preference "Open a console window -> never".

Attached are:
-patch for main.c
From patched Ethereal:
-console output of warnings from the about dialog as plain text file
 (I had to open the console window before I opened the about dialog
 to catch the first message)
-console output of warnings and an error when choosing the last font
 in list (unfortunately a screenshot, no copy'n'paste possible with
 this error) The 2nd warning and the error say that they come from
 ethereal, but they come from Pango. Pango has obviously no
 "Logging Domain".

I think this will help a lot.
Please check in.

Regards,
Lars
