And merely removing the

	gtk_widget_show(expert_info_none);

line from statusbar_cf_file_closing_cb(), with the rest of ui/gtk/main_statusbar.c being as it is in SVN, also eliminates the crash, as does eliminating the

	gtk_widget_hide(expert_info_none);

line from status_expert_hide().

This is probably a consequence of the cf_close() done when the capture is started; I don't know whether the problem is that showing and then hiding the expert_info_none widget causes the crash, or hiding it and later showing it causes the crash, or what.

Adding a Boolean for each of the expert_info_XXX widgets that's TRUE if a gtk_widget_show() was done on the widget and FALSE if a gtk_widget_hide() was done on it, and hiding widgets only if the Boolean is true, doesn't help.
