GTK+-1.2.4 was just released, so it is likely that much time will pass
until we see your change appear in the official GTK+. To help the most
users, are we going to have to put the CList widget, with your patch, in
the Ethereal distribution (with a possible name change to avoid conflict)?
At least until the optimized CList appears in GTK+?
