Sure. Right now, it shows the current filter table.

It does system("iptables -L >/tmp/tables.tmp"), then reads that file.
HINT: popen() exists for exactly this purpose.

As far as I can see by glancing at the gtk mess, it also opens two
windows with dummy select boxen.

What will gtk-iptables do to help me understand, and sanely manage,
a more than trivial ruleset? What will it be that convinces me to
run a GTK application as root? Assume I'm somewhat familiar with
iptables, and use a combined mangle/nat/filter setup with about
30 things to do right at once. I.e. the usual mess. How could
you help here?

best regards
