First, many thanks for this fabulous tool! A few things on my wish list:

(1) "Clear" button (as in Netpeek) that resets the packet list without stopping the capture
session.

(2) Option to not show the real-time stats window. I never use it; it's just clutter on my desktop
and interferes with my window cycling order.

Motivation: I use Ethereal when writing network code.  I start capturing, fire off a few packets
to some server, then examine the exchange in Ethereal. Then I simply want to clear the list and do
it again.  It would be nice to be able to do this in a few keystrokes: <keystroke for "clear">,
ALT-TAB; rather than what I do now: CTRL+E, CTRL+K, ENTER, ALT+TAB, ALT+TAB (the second ALT+TAB is
to skip the real-time stat window).

Cheers,
Eric
