Could we see a stack trace, please, so we know what Ethereal was calling
when that happened? That might help us identify the offending code
(e.g., by identifying which widget has a null "style" pointer).

No, but I did see, at work, some warning messages when I tried that, as
I remember. I don't see anything at home; the work machine is a
SPARC running Solaris 8, with GTK+ 1.2.7 and the home machine is a PC
and I'm using my FreeBSD 3.4 partition, with GTK+ 1.2.10. Some or all
of that might make a difference; it might also all be irrelevant.

No, because GTK+ 2.0 is an *incompatible* new major release of GTK+;
there is no guarantee that Ethereal (or any other GTK+ 1.2[.x]
application) will compile with GTK+ 2.0, much less that, if it compiles,
it'll work correctly.
