Hi Hadriel,

this makes sense to me. Your proposal to keep at current level the most
common protocols and push the other ones in a sub menu seems a rather good
tradeoff. BTW it might make sense to move 'Compare' and 'Flow Graph' to the
same group as 'Endpoints', 'Packet Length', 'IO Graph', ...

Pascal.
