Although I just used plain GTK mechanisms (working on win32 both GTK version 1 and 2),

Especially the string format of the dragged target filename might differ on the various platforms. 

At least with KDE 3.0's file manager/Web browser Konqueror, file name
URI's appear to be of the form

	file:/foo/bar/...

so that only "file:" should be stripped off.  I've checked in a change
to do that, and can now drop capture files from Konqueror into Ethereal.

Perhaps we should look for "file:" followed by an arbitrary number of
"/"s, and, at least on UNIX, strip off all but the last "/".


Should have added an example, how the win32 string look like...

file:///d:/dir1/dir2/capture-file.cap

I will add this to the comment.

With your changes, it still works well on my win32 machine :-)
I've added this feature, as it's frequently used by win32 users (advanced ones?). I use it regularly on other programs and a bit disappointed that it wasn't working with Ethereal.
