Touchpad scroll not working during or after capture (or at all). Suspect it's
GTK related, but have no idea. 

I can't remember when this started happening, but I believe it was with 1.2.0.
Have since tried upgrading to 1.2.1 with the same result. This is a 64bit Vista
Laptop (Dell M6400) with a Synaptics touchpad with the Synaptics Reference
driver v10.1.8 installed.

Don't know if this has anything to do with it, but tried creating a Synaptics
config file in Synaptics Program Files folder (something we used to do to fix
Firefox with the same issue). The file is called "SynTPEnh.ini" and I copied
the old Firefox entry and changed the Window Title to "*Wireshark*" <example>:

[Wireshark]
WT = "*Wireshark*"
SF = 0x10000000
SF |= 0x00004000 

...rebooted...didn't seem to do anything. Long shot hack attempt anyway, and I
don't know what those config statements do or mean either. Just gave it a shot.

Thanks in advance to anyone that takes the time to look into this.
