If you start a new capture without saving, your current capture data will be
discarded.
[Yes] [No] [Cancel]
Where the *..* is bold. Now, when I was presented with this dialog, for the
first time I automatically read only the second line (because it was closest
to the buttons), and so pressed the wrong button. It also happened sometimes
in subsequent times.
Perhaps the buttons should be
[Don't save] [Cancel] [Save]
I would also suggest an option in the 'capture' preference window
for "Do not prompt for unsaved captures".
The way that I use ethereal, it's actually pretty common for me to not
want to save a capture after I'm done with it, which makes that dialog
box annoying most of the time.
