I'm unconvinced that, for that *particular* file, there's any benefit  
whatsoever to having main_ in the name at all.  It should be pretty  
obvious that a file with "menus" in its name would contain the  
implementation of menus.

I do not consider that to be sufficient reason to attach the word  
"main" to the code that implements the protocol tree or hex dump pane;  
I think of those windows as "packet window"s rather than just as  
mirrors of the main window.
