In dlg_utils.c:
GtkWidget *
dlg_window_new(const gchar *title)
{
...
/*
* XXX - if we're running in the capture child process, we can't easily
* make this window transient for the main process's window. We just
* punt here.
*
* Perhaps the child process should only capture packets, write them to
* a file, and somehow notify the parent process and let *it* do all
* the GUI work. If we can do that efficiently (so that we don't drop
* more packets), perhaps we can also do so even when we're *not* doing
* an "Update list of packets in real time" capture. That'd let the
* child process run set-UID on platforms where you need that in order
* to capture, and might also simplify the job of having the GUI main
* loop wait both for user input and packet arrival.

I'm almost certain the above comment in dlg_utils.c is left over from
the "old days" ....
However, I'd like to get a confirmation before I remove the comment.
Guy ?
