Hi Stuart!
After having a look at all the topics you've mentioned, please see the
responses below.
Some explanation of my reponses:
Fixed: fixed in latest CVS, so next release should be ok
can't reproduce: tried, but didn't get the behaviour descibed
reproduced, GTK2 library related: this is a "misbehaviour" in the GTK
library, which cannot be solved directly be the Ethereal development team.

Bug #1: Disappearing Capture Stats Dialog
Severity: High
Effect: Ethereal cannot be quit except via the Task Manager -> End
Process method
Fixed by me some days before.
Bug #2: Packet List Context Menu Sometimes "Autoclicks" First Item
Severity: Low
Effect: Infrequently you'll get a Follow TCP Stream that you didn't
want, and will have to quit out if it and manually clear the
display filter list. An annoyance, but has a workaround.
can't reproduce, although we tried before (when I remember this correct)!
Bug #3: Improper Window Layering
Severity: Low
Effect: You don't get the main Ethereal window when you thought you
would, and have to <alt-tab> to it. An annoyance, but has a
workaround.
Fixed by me (with a workaround) today in latest CVS
Bug #4: Prompt to Save Capture Not Configurable
Severity: Low
Effect: Extra clicking. Has workaround.
As other's complaint about the same, I will change this, if I find some
time for it.
Bug #5: Toolbar Buttons Sometimes Unresponsive
Severity: Low
Effect: User confusion until they figure out the workaround. Has
workaround.
reproduced, GTK2 library related, nothing can be done against by Ethereal
Bug #6: Canceling a Parse Crashes Ethereal
Severity: High
Effect: Lost user data. No workaround.
can't reproduce!
Bug #7: Graphical Corruption
Severity: Low
Effect: Occassionally the pane has graphical artifacts left lying
around. An annoyance, but has a workaround.
reproduced, GTK2 library related, nothing can be done against by Ethereal
Bug #8: Pane Layout Preference Not Saved
Severity: Medium
Effect: You always have to apply your pane layout preference when you
start Ethereal. A large annoyance, but has a workaround.
No bug, behaviour intended. As noted by someone else, just Save the
Preferences :-)
Bug #9: Drop Down List Displayed Incorrectly
Severity: Low
Effect: List looks funny. Has a workaround.
reproduced, GTK2 library related, nothing can be done against by Ethereal
