GTK2 is optional dependency because even when ettercap is compiled with GTK2 it has 3 interfaces anyway.
Also /usr/share/applications/ettercap.desktop for GTK2 UI would be nice.
This task depends upon

Does anyone still feel that this is worth doing? The ettercap binary links to ncurses and gtk at the same time so a new package with ettercap-gtk would be required that depended on the ncurses ettercap pkg.

I guess not given it has been three months since you asked...

I still would like to see ettercap package without gtk2 dependency.
If ettercap-gtk will require ettercap (with ncurses) or will provide/conflict with ettercap (with ncurses) - that's not an issue.

Attached is a package build and .desktop file for ettercap-gtk. To disable GTK in the current ettercap package add --disable-gtk to the configure line.

Note that zlib appears to be a dependency that is missed in the current PKGBUILD. Also I think libnet is only a makedepend but this may be a false negative by namcap.
   PKGBUILD (1.4 KiB)
   ettercap.desktop (0.1 KiB)

I used Debian's method of splitting this up: all files, plugins, and console binaries in the ettercap package and sole gtk binary in ettercap-gtk. The ettercap-gtk package depends on the ettercap package for the plugins, etc.
