I've constructed a more elaborate such dialog box, based on that; it
actually lets you construct an expression that tests a field, not just
select a field from a list. The dialog box is modeled after that of
Microsoft Network Monitor.
If the field has a value_string table associated with it, you can select
the value from a list of the names in that table, rather than having to
memorize the values or look them up in some protocol spec.

The button is now called "Add Expression...".

The filter dialog box code has problems with multiple filter dialog
boxes, which should be cleaned up; the "Add Expression" dialog box is
itself, however, reentrant (it uses no global variables).
