Hello I am new to the list and I am seeking input regarding an event I
am encountering using Ethereal 0.10.0, WinPcap 3.0 on a laptop running
Windows XP Professional with a Xircom RealPort PC Card 10/100 Ethernet
interface.  Windows has been updated with the latest security patches.

I used WinDUMP to capture a large amount of LAN packets, which went
fine.  When opening the large capture file (340,894 packets captured
with 0 dropped), Ethereal eventually retrieved the packet information,
but I also noticed a DOS window with several warnings similar to the one
below:

<Ethereal.exe:372>: Gdk-WARNING **:
gdkdrawable-win32.c:gdk_win32_draw_rectangle:355: Rectangle failed:
Access is denied.

I searched the archives looking for guidance and found similar email
interchanges describing this event, but no conclusions as to whether
this is a bug and more importantly if this is something to be concerned
about since it is only a warning and Ethereal does not appear to be
effected.  Thanks in advance for your assistance.
