I'd like to see the following features added to the stream window:

    Colorize the text, so that you can tell the client traffic from
    the server traffic.

    Add a column or scale that shows when the stream data arrived.

    Add the ability to "play back" a session, instead of displaying it
    all at once.  The current window would work well for text-oriented
    protocols, and we could add "players" for other protocols.  A VNC
    session could be displayed as it appears to the client, for
    instance.
