You could have our current three-paned display, only have each of the panes on
a separate page of a notebook-tab widget (so you only see one at a time).
Start out with the "List" tab which shows the packet list. If you tap a
packet, it switches to the "Decode" tab. The "Hexdump" tab has the hex dump as
we display it today.
I guess the main problem would be GTK. I don't know the status of GTK on
portables, but I heard that QT was much more advanced. Any truth to this?
