Wow!  This is perfect!  

I was trying to use Ethereal, but I made the mistake of upgrading it, and it 
horked not only Ethereal, but GTK 2.0, and ALL programs that use it (If 
ANYONE can tell me how to find a post install script, since GTK2.0 is horked 
and has a problem with the post install script and can't be removed, 
reinstalled, or forced to reinstall, I'd be greatfull because you'd save me 
several hours work -- I can't find anything telling me where the post install 
scripts are on Google).

Thanks!
