Hi all,

Two possible "problems":

UI - The 'Preferences' window of Ethereal is becoming quite wide due to the
addition of dissectors. In fact, so wide that on a laptop it will not fit on
the screen anymore. Combine that with using certain window-themes and you
can't even drag or close that window anymore.
Any UI-gurus out there that can come up with an improved layout?

Registration - When adding a dissector with "heur_dissector_add()", the
protocol will not appear in the "Decode As..." window. That will happen only
when a call to "dissector_add()" is made.
Is there a reason for this or just an oversight?

Regards,
