Hi Paul,

That message pops up on a Win32 build of Ethereal when the GDK of Gtk
issues a warning. Those warnings are not always a fault of Ethereal.
In general these warnings can be ignored. However, when you close that
DOS window, Ethereal immediately dies, as the Ethereal process depends
on that console window.

Best regards,

Olivier

When I start up ethereal, a dos box pops up with the following error
message:


(ethereal-ca pture:3312): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkdrawable-win32.c:1591:
BitBlt failed
: The handle is invalid.

If I close the box, ethereal closes as well.  If I leave it alone,
ethereal seems to work fine.  How can I get rid of it?

Thanks,

Paul Doxey
