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.
Personally, I'd like to see the proto_help stuff be supported again, but unfortunately I don't have enough gtk knowledge to accomplish this myself in the near future. My interest is not so much with Inacon (although their freely available protocol help is very good, in my opinion), but more with being able to provide at least some free apropos protocol help whether it's from Inacon, Wireshark's wiki, or from elsewhere. To that end, I opened bug 4870[1]. What I still don't know is how to best integrate/distribute the free Inacon and alternate help files I provided with Wireshark, assuming of course that they would be useful to others as well - perhaps not so much to those monitoring this list, but in particular to Wireshark and protocol analysis newcomers.
