Hi,

I have been thinking that it would be useful if we could right click on a
tree item in the tree view pane and be able to require that the packet be
dissected as a different protocol.

It would mainly be for the un-decoded data portion, but might also be used
when Ethereal has made a mistake about how to dissect a packet.
