I didn't see that warning from 0.9.8 on Windows 2000.

GTK+ is reporting a problem; whether the problem it's reporting is the
result of a GTK+ bug or an Ethereal bug is another matter.
"gtk_widget_map()" isn't called by any Ethereal code, except by our
internal version of the CList widget (which is there because older
versions had a performance problem that significantly slowed down
loading very large captures; the current version of 1.2[.x], and 2.x,
don't have that problem) - but that's not used in the Windows version.
It's called internally from GTK+, but it might be having a problem as a
result of Ethereal doing something wrong.

I don't know whether the people (person, to be specific - Tor Lillqvist)
maintaining it are interested in 1.3.x bugs or not; he does offer it for
GTK 1.2[.x]-based apps. I think we're also distributing an older
version of the 1.3.x build.
