Thanks, Ulf, that fixes it.
Happily I discovered that capture filters aren't kept in the prefs
file, so I had no reason to keep the old one.
Yes, capture filters are kept in the cfilters file.
If you are interested in more info of the configuration files, have a
look at the user's guide: "Appendix A. Configuration Files and
Folders"
Seems a little odd though, that is simply an old prefs file --
newer ethereals ought to have some way of coping with it.
[iirc, I've _never_ set a font attribute, so it must have been
filled in by an older ethereal version.]
Yes, as I tried to explain, this is a bug of the default name filled
into the preferences file (only for GTK1 versions) I've fixed for
upcoming 0.10.7. As this is a problem only GTK1 and only if you didn't
have a preferences file before and the dialog gives you a direction what
to do, I won't implement a way to surround that bug. If a lot of others
complain, I might change my mind on this ...
Still trying to figure out the best place to post comments on gtk.
Yes, that can be a hard to realize where to post.
I will put the following into the dev-guide, so it might be a bit
generalized and too long for your specific case.

You can find several resources about GTK.
</para>
<para>
First of all, have a look at: <ulink url="http://www.gtk.org"/> as this
will be the first place to look at. If you want to develop GTK related
things for Ethereal, the most important place might
be the GTK API documentation at: <ulink url="http://gtk.org/api/"/>.

<para>
Several mailing lists are available about GTK development, see <ulink
url="http://gtk.org/mailinglists.html"/>, the gtk-app-devel-list
may be you friend.

Theres no Win32 specific GTK mailing list. If you want to post
a Win32 specific problem (e.g. a problem in the GtkFileChooser dialog)
and you are sure that it's really win32 specific, you
could send it to GIMPwin-users at <ulink
url="http://www.gimp.org/mail_lists.html"/>.
</para>
<para>
As it's often done wrong: You should post a mail to *help* the
developers
there instead of only complaining. Posting such a thing like "I
don't like
your dialog, it looks ugly" won't be much helpful. You might think
about
what you dislike and describe why you dislike it and a suggestion for a
better way.
