While mucking around with the Match -> Selected function yesterday
(what a great feature - I can't believe I had never used it before!)
I found a bit of a problem.

Specifically, if you are trying to match a FT_BYTES field that is
longer than 20 characters, the filter string generated by ethereal
is incorrect.  It looks like the gtk label string is used to generate
the filter text and the ellipsis is rightly detected as a syntax error.

Anyone have any good ideas on how to fix it?  My gtk programming is
very rusty but I remember some sort of data field attached to all
gtk widgets which could be used to store the full field representation.


Tim.
