Try looking at "Edit->Protocols" or "Edit->Preferences". You should find
both MGCP and Gryphon listed under "Edit->Protocols" and some preferences
to be set under "Edit->Preferences" for MGCP. This is the indication that
these plugins have been loaded.
The confusion is that the "Tools->Protocols" menu is for enabling and
disabling old style plugins. Since ethereal no longer ships with any
old style plugins you don't see anything listed there. New style
plugins behave very much like any other dissector, and are thus enabled
and disabled at the "Edit->Protocols" dialog.
Sorry about any confusion.
