Speaking of Digital^H^H^H^H^H^H^HTru64 UNIX and of GTK+ problems, has
anybody else seen GTK+-based applications, when running on DU/TU,
getting confused about the mouse position when dragging a scrollbar?  I
first noticed it in Ethereal, but the "testgtk" program that comes with
GTK+ also exhibited the same problem - I have to drag the mouse outside
the scrollbar, in effect, before the scrollbar slides.

When last I asked this, Laurent said he hadn't seen it, so clearly it's
not a universal problem; I've seen it on boxes running various versions
of DU 4.0, with both Exceed on an NT box and on an NCD X-terminal as the
X server.

The Ethereal site currently has, on the "Download" page, a link to a
local archive for the DU binaries (in your home directory on
pow.zing.org); it points to an 0.8.7 binary - should it be changed to
refer to your home page?
