I suppose the "Analyse->Decode As" will still be available
by right-clicking on a packet in the tree pane? If so, we

To quote the GNOME HIG:

"Since the user may not be aware of their presence, do not provide functions that are only accessible from popup menus unless you are confident that your target users will know how to use popup menus."
