Some comments:

a) the hostlist diff made some problems while patching, but the 
conversation patch worked pretty good, you might have a look at your 
diff file generation.
b) you removed the redraw of things from both xxx_resolve_toggle_dest 
functions, but this isn't a good idea.
It is intentional that the checkbutton switches between  address 
resolution on/off with immediate response
c) you've duplicated code in the draw_xxx_table_address() function
I really dislike duplicated code as this is a maintenance nightmare. 
Please avoid duplication of code
I've checked in your patches with corrections described above
