When I click the 'Options' button while starting a new capture, an empty error
message box pops up. It has no text message, only a 'critical-error' type red
minus icon. It loads behind the options dialog, and because of the error
message, the options window does not respond (inactive). To proceed, I have to
click on the error message to make it active and click the 'OK' button. Then
everything is fine, except that the capture options doesn't seem to remember my
last settings.
It always defaults to 'Update lists of packets in realtime', 'Automatic
scrolling' and 'Hide capture info dialog'.

I have observed the problem at another PC in office (Windows XP). I have not
tried in any other OS.
