Hi,
I'm currently on a buissiness trip and have little spare time :(
I can live with Lars'es solution but fear that there may be deeper
issues...
See http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200910/msg00194.html
I'm not sure my GTK knowledge
Is good enough to fix this.

Regards
Anders

Hi All,

Since Gerald is preping 1.2.3 it's time to get this finished. Anders, as
a Windows core developer, can you pick this up?

Thanx,
Jaap
