The answer is the same for all versions - you can't; nobody's written
code to allow particular panes to be removed.

The answer is the same for all versions - drag the separator between the
detail ("protocol tree") pane and the hex pane down as far as you can.
For versions of Ethereal built with GTK+ 1.2[.x] (the default version
for UN*X builds), you have to grab the little square box on the
right-hand side of the separator and drag that up or down. (What *were*
the Athena widgets developers thinking? What were the Motif developers
thinking when they adopted that idea? I guess the GTK+ people wanted to
imitate Motif....)
For versions of Ethereal built with GTK+ 1.3[.x] (the version with which
the Windows binaries are built) and GTK+ 2.x, you can drag anywhere.
Unfortunately, the minimum size is the default size, so you can't
minimize it as much as I suspect you'd like.
However, you can override the minimum size with the "-B" command-line
option; try "-B 1".
