More precisely, editing the interfaces by adding/changing/removing comments
does _not_ cause the Preferences -> Capture -> Interfaces dropdown list to
immediately update, but it should. Exiting Preferences and coming back in does
cause the dropdown to update.

Also, once set the Default Interface will never update, even after an app
restart. One must reselect the <device> to get it to update.

These text strings are built up as "<description> : <device>" or "<comment> :
<device>". Live updating should be possible since <device> is always present.
