The *right* way to fix this would be to replace the GtkClist with a
widget that, instead of requiring you to specify the column values when
you add a column to the display, lets you specify a routine to be called
when a row is to be displayed and an argument to pass to that routine;
the routine would supply a list of column text values.

I have a partially-finished version of that; it can change the time
display format instantaneously, no matter how many packets are in the
capture.

The widget is based on the GTK+ 1.2.10 GtkClist; it might not work with
GTK+ 2.x without some changes.  It might be that the right thing to do
for 2.x is to go to the new 2.x column-list widget, which can, I think,
already allow you to get the column text values on the fly in that
fashion.
