I copied the ethereal-0.10.3.ebuild file to ethereal-0.10.4.ebuild and copied files/0.10.3-gcc34.patch to files/0.10.4-gcc34.patch and Ethereal compiled fine for me. I am using this on a headless machine, so I was only able to test tethereal and not use it under X. I can try X later when I use a different machine.

# /usr/bin/tethereal -v
tethereal 0.10.4
Compiled with GLib 1.2.10, with libpcap 0.8.3, with libz 1.1.4,
with libpcre 4.4, without UCD-SNMP or Net-SNMP, without ADNS.
Running with libpcap version 0.8.3 on Linux 2.4.25-grsec-1.9.14.

I compliled ethereal 0.10.4 on a box with X and the X GUI works for me too. Basic packet capture of HTTP, NTP, SMTP+TLS, IMAP-SSL, SSH, DNS, etc works for me.

ethereal 0.10.4
