For what it's worth, while I was doing some debugging of a dissector I 
noticed that if I 'down-arrow' into a packet (on the summary window) the 
dissector gets called once while if I click on the packet the dissector 
gets called twice. (I've no idea if this is the expected behaviour, but it 
did seem curious).
