Are we using the best default settings when Wireshark is installed for 
the first time on a machine?  I always make these changes:

 - <uncheck> Ask for unsaved capture files
 - <check> Welcome screen and title bar shows version
 - Always start in directory (Desktop on Windows, ~/captures on Unix)
 - Change the toolbar style to "Icons & Text"
 - Add a "Packet Length (Bytes)" column titled "Bytes"

The one that I think would be the most useful to consider making a 
default setting is making the toolbar style "Icons & Text" followed by 
adding the packet length column.

Comments?  Any other settings we all use that could be useful?
