If multiple preference profiles exist, it would be very useful to allow the user
to specify which preference profile to load when ethereal/tethereal loads.  The
two main ones that come to mind from list discussion would be "most recent" (ie.
the settings from when you last exited) and a "standard" (that does not change
unless explicitly saved to).

Another nice feature would be to allow the file/open capture/start, etc... to
have a "select preference profile" feature... ie. stuff like read filter, display
filter, displayed protocols, etc...
