I saw something similar on my 10.5.8 MacBook Pro at home when I used  
Grab - except that only the topmost packet's row was showing in the  
packet list pane; the rest of the pane was blank.  I also saw the "low- 
res" font.

If, however, I use Grab on a version of OS X that might already be  
available in New Zealand (so if you're anywhere west of New Zealand,  
don't read this message until after midnight :-)):

it appears to work, both with a built-from-SVN version and 1.2.1.

However:

        1) those are different builds of Wireshark (the built-from-SVN  
version isn't up-to-date)...

        2) ...built on different versions of the OS...

        3) ...possibly with different versions of GTK+...

        3) ...with a different capture file...

        4) ...and with a different set of coloring rules...

        5) ...on a machine that might have a different video adapter (iMac at  
work rather than MacBook Pro at home)...

...so it's not *necessarily* a case of "fixed in the Big White Cat".

I'll see whether I can find anything about bugs involving Grab and X11.
