As I'm not a native english speaker: should it be called "Packet
Detail" or "Packet Details" as there is more than one detail in the
packet?

I'd vote for "Packet Details" (but not strongly, if anybody has any
strong objections to "Details").
My tendency is to think of it as the Packet Detail Window/Pane, but I could live with the other. 


Hmmmm, we should either call it:

a)
"View->Show->Packet List"
"View->Show->Packet Details"
"View->Show->Packet Bytes"

or

b)
"View->Show->Packet List View"
"View->Show->Packet Detail View"
"View->Show->Packet Byte View"

c)
or using b) but replacing "xy View" by "xy Window" or "xy Pane" or similar


I would simply prefer to use a), as this is IMHO short and intuitive.
In the documentation we could refer to this as e.g. "the Packet Detail Pane" or such, as that won't confuse as it's clear to understand.
