It works for me:

	Ethereal 0.7.1 (plus whatever changes I don't have checked in,
	but they shouldn't affect this)

	Solaris 2.5.1

	(Happy Meal Ethernet interface, but the network card and drivers
	shouldn't make a difference).

That should be handled by the GTK+ CList window, so I'm surprised
changing which version of Ethereal you're using would make a difference
- did the version of GTK+ it was linked with change?  (What does "ldd"
say?)
