The reason this works is, that the capture configuration in wireshark itself
still uses the same preferences, as opposed to setting new settings or
restarting wireshark. I just wanted confirmed, that this work-around is still
doable in the current version on someone elses machine.

As said before, the fix is being implemented, but will take some time.
