Perhaps they should, but it's almost certainly not Ethereal that's
responsible for their position, it's GTK+-on-Win32 - Ethereal relies on
GTK+ (the window system toolkit it uses) to do the right thing for those
low-level GUI operations.

You should probably speak to the GTK+-on-Win32 maintainer, Tor
Lillqvist; see the GTK+ and GIMP for Windows page at

	http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/

and let him know that

	1) Ethereal uses the 2000-04-16 version of GTK+-on-Win32;

	2) Ethereal requires a GTK+ and GLib that are compatible with
	   GTK+ 1.2[.x], so if he says "fixed in a later version" but
	   that version won't work with programs written for GTK+
	   1.2[.x] (as opposed to the not-yet-released GTK+ 2.0),
	   Ethereal can't use the later version;

and be aware that if a later GTK+-for-Windows isn't binary compatible
with older versions, you won't be able to use it with current Ethereal
binaries.
