The new Edit>Preference>Name Resolution>SMI module>Edit is flaky:
1. You can select New and enter new modules. I had to enter 5 times to get it
saved properly. It seems after wireshark is restared, the new modules added are
gone:
SNMPv2-SMI
SNMPv2-TC
SNMPv2-CONF
CISCO-SMI
INET-ADDRESS-MIB
RFC1155-SMI
RFC-1212
RFC-1215
CISCO-CCM-MIB
CISCO-CDP-MIB

[I made sure the above mibs exist in c:\Program Files\Wireshark\snmp\mibs] 

/c/Documents and Settings/tcwinn/Application Data/Wireshark/smi_modules contain
the following:

bash-3.2$ pwd
/c/Documents and Settings/tcwinn/Application Data/Wireshark
bash-3.2$ cat smi_modules 
# This file is automatically generated, DO NOT MODIFY.
"IP-MIB"
"IF-MIB"
"TCP-MIB"
"UDP-MIB"
"SNMPv2-MIB"
"RFC1213-MIB"
"IPV6-ICMP-MIB"
"IPV6-MIB"
"SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB"
"SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB"
"SNMP-MPD-MIB"
"SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB"
"SNMP-PROXY-MIB"
"SNMP-TARGET-MIB"
"SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB"
"SNMP-USM-DH-OBJECTS-MIB"
"SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB"
"SNMPv2-SMI"
"SNMPv2-TC"
"SNMPv2-CONF"
"CISCO-SMI"
"INET-ADDRESS-MIB"
"RFC1155-SMI"
"RFC-1212"
"RFC-1215"
"CISCO-CCM-MIB"
"CISCO-CDP-MIB"


2. When I reloaded wireshark with the above saved, decodes for CISCO-CCM-MIB
never happened. And the console window (default to Always) displayed nothing.
So I have no way of knowing what's going on. So this feature is completely
broken for me!

3. The above mibs were tested to be dependencies for CISCO-CCM-MIB. I had to
revert to wireshark 0.99.5 to verify the dependency. Before that I only
specified CISCO-CCM-MIB, and wireshark 1.0.3 wouldn't even load. It gave me a
sorry message saying that encountered some unrecoverable error and aborted. I
had to delete CISCO-CCM-MIB from c:\Program Files\Wireshark\snmp\mibs for
wireshark to load. So looks like it has problem handling the dependencies!!!
0.99.5 would give me errors on the console window telling me about the missing
mibs. Thats how I found out the dependencies.
