Well, I have something that seems to work.

However, I noticed in one test I was doing of a "-S" capture that if you
run without "-n", and some of the packets come from or go to addresses
with really long fully-qualified DNS names, you can end up with rather a
lot of real estate taken up by the source and/or destination addresses
when the autosizing is done.

Would it be better to make those particular columns not auto-resize, but
instead stick with the current static sizes?  Or are people willing to
just adjust the column sizes if they don't want those columns being that
wide?
