One more data point below.  The bug exists even with newer GTK, etc.
Shouldn't we suspect the Ethereal GUI code rather than the GTK/etc 
libraries?



$ ./ethereal -v
ethereal 0.10.6
Compiled with GTK+ 2.0.9, with GLib 2.0.7, with libpcap 0.8.3, with libz 
1.1.3,
without libpcre, without UCD-SNMP or Net-SNMP, without ADNS.
NOTE: this build does not support the "matches" operator for Ethereal filter 
syntax.

$ ./ethereal
Running with libpcap version 0.8.3 on SunOS 5.8.
eth_cvs_nwsgpa$ The program 'ethereal' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
 (Details: serial 12054 error_code 3 request_code 15 minor_code 0)
 (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
  that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
  To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
  option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
  backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Same error with SVN version:  ethereal 0.10.6 (SVN 20040913155340)
