Ok, upgraded to 0.7.9 and it still does it.  I also made sure that I 
had patched libpcap with Guy's patch for linux and it still does it.  I 
guess I wasn't clear enough the first time I described the problem so I 
would like to clarify a bit here.  The problem is not with the main 
ethereal window but with the "Capture/Playback" window.  If I iconify 
it then de-iconify it, the text disappears until the next frame on the 
wire comes through.  That means I can't press stop until the next frame 
is captured, etc.  Has anyone else experienced this?
