7 Well, I downgraded (isn't eix wonderful?) to ethereal 0.10.11
8
9 I got the same problem, but more details on the failure
10 <snip>
11 /home/james/.kde3.4/share/config/gtkrc:37: error: unexpected identifier
12 `gtk-alternative-button-order', expected keyword - e.g. `style'
13 <snip>
14
15 So I commented out line 37 in gtkrc
16 #gtk-alternative-button-order = 1
17
18 Now it does not die upon termination of a capture session....
19
20 looks like a kde_vs_gtk config/parameter feud....
21
22 so I re emerged the latest (portage) version of ethereal.
23
24 It now works fine, so line 37 in
25 /home/james/.kde3.4/share/config/gtkrc:37
26 was/is the problem....

29 Comments or a more robust method of fixing/patching ethereal?
