OK, I checked that in. It doesn't make un-expanded levels completely
vanish, so it won't *completely* hide, say, the Ethernet or IP stuff if
they're not expanded, but it at least cuts down the amount of stuff
generated. If you select "Print as displayed", the printout/text file
would look something like:
...
Frame (60 on wire, 60 captured)

Note that this doesn't give the frame number - having put that into an
item under "Frame", I removed it from the detailed printout; should I
put it back and, if so, should I remove it from the "Frame" fields?
(Network Monitor lets you delete the summary view pane, in which case
the only place you could see the frame number would be the item under
"Frame"; we don't *currently* let you get rid of any panes, but I could
see us adding that in the future, and even with the summary display
there's no guarantee that the selected frame is currently on the screen
in the summary display - you might've scrolled the summary window and
scrolled that frame out of the way - so it might still be useful to have
the frame number in the protocol tree pane.)
