Pavel,

I'm working *slowly* on creating a "widget" that will graph throughput on
each "colored" stream which is along the lines of the dynamic graph. I
already display a view showing packet lengths. You can find some more out at
http://www.hinet.net.au/~mvisser/ethereal/

You asked about a mechanism of having your graph move by selecting the list.
I do this my adding a function call packet_list_select_cb in gtk/main.c and
altering my graph
