Hi Gerald!

First of all, yes, this is a big step to better usability under Windows. 
There's only one thing that remains a problem in this regards: the 
"Save" button in the Preference(s) dialog(s).

Some things I've noticed while trying:

- sometimes the dialog is "breathtakingly" slow
- the Size, Packets and First packet values are right bounded while the 
others are (correctly) left bounded
- this is the "old style" dialog (e.g. used by Visual Studio 6). The 
"new style" (XP style?) dialog looks like the one from Firefox (I can 
provide screen shots if needed)

I'm pleased to see this change anyway, it's really a step in the right 
direction ...
