Currently Ethereal sets and uses a default directory for reading and
writing, but only in some places. This set of patches extends the
setting of the default directory to the -w option as well as the -r
option, and causes all file dialogs to use and set the default
consistently. (I haven't changed the Preferences/Printing/File dialog,
though, as that's a special case.)
There's also a fix for a bug where Ethereal was issuing the message
"Ring buffer requested, but capture isn't being saved to a permanent
file" even though a file was specified with -w.
