I agree.

Calling new_packet_list_recreate() only if there's a PacketList certainly gives
the previous (better) behavior. (What's a good way to do this ?)


That being said, I think the underlying issue is the initial "autodetection"
being done for the pane sizes.

After reverting r43646, if a 1 packet capture file is opened (after clearing
the configuration files), the packet list pane will be sized to just show the
single frame.

So: even after doing a fix in name_resolution_cb(), the issue will still exist
in certain circumstances.

That is, this issue will show up only with no config files (only immediately
after installation ?) and only if a small capture file is opened first, so I
think it's very minor. 

A fix would probably be to determine default pane positions for the pane
sliders so that each pane is 1/3 of the window height.

I'll take a look to see if this is easily done.
