Via option... like the way I do now... Nothing in the gui.

For conversation I meant the find_conversation stuff actualy in ethereal.
Afaik, it can't interact with the gui.. Of course, if it's possible to set
some property for a conversation at runtime then there is a big benefit..

I can convert the code to use conversation_t and get_proto_data instead of
find_key, and setup the conversation in tacplus_pref_cb ( for the known
keys )... For the moment the keys must be set as triplet.... but I'm trying
to add something to the gui...
