When I start up the program and select "Tools/Capture" and then click on
the "OK" button in the "Capture Preferences" window, it:

	1) creates a *second* Ethereal window;

	2) complains

		ethereal: illegal option -- k
		ethereal: illegal option -- Q

on its standard error.

If I select "Tools/Capture" in the second window, I get an ordinary
boring non-real-time capture.

Am I doing something wrong, or do I need to apply another patch, over
and above the one you sent out?
