--
If you open a file, then close it, the record button is enabled even though you
haven't selected an interface to capture from.  The status bar at the bottom
informs you, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get back to the home page
after this to correct the problem.

Steps to reproduce:
1) open wireshark
2) open a capture file
3) Click the X at the top
4) Click the record button

Behaviour Encountered:
Recording starts, but there is no interface selected (the information bar
notifies correctly).  Pressing X again stops the recording action, but does not
bring you back to the home page to select an interface.

Behaviour Expected:
After closing the capture file, the record button is not active until an
interface is selected.
