Hello Guy,

I'm not partial to the Windows behavior over GTK's behavor.
It's just that the GTK "Create Folder" behavior has some subtle 
differences that could leave an Ethereal user who is used
to Windows behavor just a little confused. ;-)

Regarding the GTK defect itself, is there something I need to do
or can do let the appropriate GTK developers know of the problem, 
or have you or someone else already alerted same?

Thanks,

Jim Y.
