Hi Ethereal-Experts,

I think I found a bug which wasn't closed by the last release 0.10.10
My OS is Fedora Core 2.

File --> Open --> Filter:
The Window "Ethereal: Read Filter" opens.
But you can't choice a predefiend Filter or just Close the window.
It hangs.

After having a look at this, it's really ugly...
The main problem is that the GtkFileChooser dialog (we use since GTK 2.4) requires to use gtk_dialog_run(), as some widgets of that dialog (e.g. the Ok button) can no longer be accessed directly.
Unfortunately gtk_dialog_run takes control over "all" events (seems to have it's own event loop), so we can open the filter dialog when the "Filter:" button was pressed, but that dialog won't receive any events, which is causing the problem described. 

I don't know any convenient solution :-(
We could use the GtkFileSelection for all GTK versions again, drop support for the Filter dialog at this place, .... 

I don't know what to do here, suggestions?

Regards, ULFL
