The filter dialog box can be popped up either

	1) if you just want to edit the list of filters;

	2) if you're browsing through the list of filters by clicking on
	   a "Filters:" button next to some text entry box.

In the former case, there's no text entry box connected to the menu
item; I guess one could view "Apply" as a way of testing a filter you're
constructing to add to the list, although, as we also let you edit the
filter list in the dialog box popped up from a "Filters:" button, you
could do it that way as well.

"Edit->Filters" is the former case.

"File->Open->Filter" is the latter case - and, in that case, the filter
isn't one to be applied to the current capture, so "Apply" should be
greyed out, as there's nothing useful for it to do; the filter is only
applied to the packets being read in, and that doesn't happen until you
hit "OK" in the file selection box.
