Hello, would it be OK to remove the non-UI-MANAGER code in gtk/? I haven't seen any ongoing work in that area, so what (if anything) is missing from the UI-MANAGER codebase? The only things that come to my mind are the proto_help stuff and the gtkvumeter stuff. The proto_help stuff isn't really cared for by its original author and so far nobody has stepped up to convert it. If I remember the discussion about gtkvumeter correctly, it may be either removed or replaced by some other vumeter. Are there any other points? If there are no convincing arguments and nobody beats me to it, I'll remove the old stuff about a week from now.
I've added the gtkvumeter stuff years ago in the hope it get's more used in the UI - which is not the case.
I still believe that displaying values as in the attached screenshot (at places where such a display format makes sense) is far more informative than simply "-62 dBm".
However, if it now gets in the way of improving the codebase and no one cares improving Wireshark in this regard, I'd say just drop it.
