But if you click on HTTP, isn't "is present" automatically selected, so that it's *impossible* not to have a relation selected?

If not, I'd consider that a bug - if you select a field/protocol, there has to be *some* operator testing it, so there should be a default selected when you select the field/protocol. The GTK+ 1.2[.x] version works that way - it selects "is present" by default; is this some difference between 1.2[.x] and 2.x, or is this a bug in 2.x?
