1.5 Find next instance

which is to "Find frame" what "Match selected" is to the display filter
code.  (Network Monitor offers the equivalent of "Match selected" and
"Find next instance", although it does so by popping up a pre-filled-in
GUI to construct a filter expression.)

I think that's about the only choice the GTK+ CList widget offers, alas
- it has no ability to change the CList's list of columns dynamically. 
(As I remember from checking the documentation, Qt's equivalent lets you
*add* columns to the end, but not to move them or, as I remember, delete
them.)
