Yes, I agree with you, but if we implement the "per protocol
colorization" like you said, for adding colors to other panels, I think
that it would be easy to convert the actual colorization of packets to
use the colors asigned to protocols.

It means that the color of one packet (in the packet window) will be the
color of last protocol dissected in that packet. 

Of course this must be user configurable, because there are many
situations where the actual "filter colorization" is more suggestive.
