I took a look at all the currently used list-like windows. As the 
"coloring rules" window enables the user to create entries, just like
the "Display filter macro", "capture filters" and "display filters"
window, it should resemble them more then it should resemble the
protocol list, which only uses a sorted list of non-user editable
items that can be enabled or disabled.

So for now, I'll stick to this layout, but of course some general
layout of all windows is still an neat idea. But a little over my
head to be honest :-)

Cheers,
