This is slightly off-topic, but I was using ethereal 0.8.16, and ethereal display was working fine. I can see via ethereal the captured packets and the protocol tree for each packet.
I then upgraded to XFree86 4.0.3 ( from 3.3.6 ) plus a few other packages along the way ( moved from 2.91 to gcc 2.95, binutils to 2.9.5 ). gtk+ was not updated. Now everytime I run ethereal and capture packets, the windows showing the packets captured and the protocol tree shows squares instead of readable text. 

I also tried etheral 0.8.17 ... same thing.
