Something I just noticed, which may be present in other places. If you open a capture (haven't tested this on any other platforms, yet, just 0.9.15 on W2K), and open one of the "Conversations" statistics windows, that window has no close button, and if you hit the windows close X, it exits ethereal 
entirely.  This seems non-optimal.  Anyone else notice this?
No. I just tried the current CVS version on Mac OS X 10.3, and I can dismiss it by clicking the "X" jellybean^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hbutton and the window closes without Ethereal crashing (if Ethereal exits as a result of anything other than File->Quit or the main window's close button, it's probably a crash).
This might be a UNIX+X vs. Windows thing, or it might be a bug fixed since 0.9.15. 

A "Close" button might be useful, however.  Ronnie?
