From Ethereal 0.9.15, if you select the Export button on the color filter 
dialog you will see a Save File dialog. On that dialog is a button to select 
the Global Filters file. Pressing that allows you to save the filters as the 
global set, to be used by all users that do not have personal filters set. 
You will have to do so as root on Unix/Linux, and may have to be 
Administrator on Windows, to have sufficient access rights to save the file.
