Rep:
You can go into kde. Launch a user shell. type "xhost +". Su into a root shell. Run ethereal. I do it all the time. In fact, I never have run ethereal in anything but kde. Gnome stuff all works in kde. GTK stands for gimp tool kit. Both kde and gnome programs use it.
In shell i do xhost + and it says:
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
Then I do ethereal and it says:
command not found
Then the problem isn't anything to do with Ethereal using GTK (GTK programs work seamlessly in KDE, QT programs work perfectly in GNOME etc.) but its something to do with either your X configuration or you haven't installed ethereal in the correct location.
