I'm not sure I understand the idea of "tabbed" and "nice" being used in the
same sentence without a "not" before "nice". :-)

Wireshark will never *require* that multiple files be shown in the same window.
 At some point, it might *allow* that, but, if we add the ability for a single
Wireshark process to have multiple files open, it'll probably default to
showing them in separate windows, possibly with an *option* to open multiple
tabs (although note that we *already* have tabs in the hex/ASCII pane, so there
would end up being multiple levels of tabs if we supported MDI (yes, tabs are
