I thought that might be the case, but I've noticed some dissectors that
don't do this... at least not the way you suggest below.
If there's a dissector that has a port-number preference but that doesn't have a routine that's called when any of its preferences change, that dissector's port-number preference won't work if you change it unless you save your preferences, exit Ethereal, and restart it. 

What dissector does things differently?
