Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] "Find by filter" option for tree context menu

Hello,

I often use the "find" facility to a packet with an attribute the same as
the one I am looking at. I have to rekey the filter string, or use "prepare"
and then cut and paste it into the find dialogue.

Attached are three patches against the current subversion to add a "find by
filter" option for the tree context menu. It uses the find_frame_with_filter
function.

Limitation: it does _not_ reset the find dialog to "display filter" - I'm
new to GTK and I couldn't work out how to do it. So if the user has chosen
"string" in their previous find, then uses the menu option, the find will
still be a string find. 

And in my GTK ignorance, the whole implementation may be duff.

Any comments? Would another name for the menu option be better?

Matthew
