After annotating a long packet with comments while capturing, I accidentally
hit "Restart" instead of Stop. I was not amused when I learned that all
comments and the capture data were lost.

Feature request: provide a preference that triggers a confirmation when
restarting a capture.

Variant: always confirm when the packet is modified (and the title shows an
star (*)).

(I have also tried the QT4 UI, but that one does not even ask for confirmation
when closing the program)
