I've recently checked in the changes to the Ethereal main menu 
structure, I have outlined a few weeks ago.
   

Don't forget to update the man page....

 

After thinking a bit of the man page, some thoughts:

a. I'm curious: Is it usual for a GUI application, to have a man page 
about the GUI elements, especially if a help system is available?

b. Win32 users usually cannot access the man page :-(, so no help about 
the menu is available!
I'm using Ethereal for about 4 years, and didn't expect and even know 
that the man pages are describing the menu.

c. Wouldn't it be a good idea to move at least the menu information from 
the man pages into the online help system?
