|One solution could be to put the "Packet Range" into it's own 
|dialog, and print only a summary line in the save dialog "Save 
|all captured packets" and a button "Range" to call the packet 
|range dialog to change the setting.

Wait a minute... That's not a bad idea at all!

If we can put the packet selection gizmos in an own dialog,
we could do the following:

1. Move the packet selection gizmos into an own dialog
   (gtk/packet_selection_dlg.c)

2. In the Save and Print dialogs, add a label with the currently
   selected packet selection logic, and maybe also a packet count.
   The summary may say "(%u of %u packet%s selected)".

3. In the Save and Print dialogs, add a button which leads the
   end-user to the packet_selection_dlg and allows it to select
   the packets to save/print. Label it "Modify selection..."

|This will require some more work on this, and will make the 
|dialog even less intuitive :-(

I think the proposed solution is a fair trade-off. Please comment!
