Ah, the Wireshark icon has more than 256 colors!  That might 
explain why our email client (Novell GroupWise) stopped showing 
the Wireshark icon for *.pcap attachments after installing a 
recent SVN!  After the recent SVN install I started seeing an 
invisable icon for any email that had a Wireshark registered 
suffix.

It first annoyed me yesterday with an email attachment but I
hadn't had a chance to dig any deeper.  

When I downgrad to Wireshral Release 0.99.4 and Wireshark icon 
appears on email attachments. I upgraded to brand new 0.99.5 
(SVN Rev 20677) and Wireshark Icon disappears.

Looks like someone will need to submit a bug report?  I can if 
someone else doesn't beat me to it.

Regards,

Jim Young
