I guess I am just used to seeing icons on the left (e.g. Explorer,
Outlook etc). And for long lines you would have to scroll to see if
there was an icon.
Though if they were on the right you could add further icons without
pushing the whole text to the right.
You use to see icons on the left side as these will indicate the kind of element you see (a sum symbol for checksums for example) - what we have here is different.

I guess if we have the feature implemented, we'll get other icons for other things as well so using the "right side" is a good idea in any case ;-)
The (i) icon is usually used for help pages.
But not currently in Wireshark.
I had a quick look: For help, the "life-saver" is used in GNOME-like and the "questions mark" is used in Windows applications (don't know what KDE or others use).

So it might just be ok to use the (i) icon, I've attached two of them I've derived from the open-office collection (LGPL'ed or GPL'ed, can't remember) - I've made some time before for the capture icons.
