Making them "personal" only works for "personal" installations of 
Ethereal on systems where the installer has a notion of "personal" 
installations.

That's true on Windows, but not, as far as I know, for most UNIXes.

Fortunately, as Richard Urwin noted, the personal color filter set 
overrides any system color filter set (which is a GOOD THING, as it 
means you can get rid of global color filters you *don't* want).  This 
means that you don't have to make the installed color filters personal 
- if the user wants to change them, they just edit their color filter 
set and save the set, and they now have a personal set that is used 
instead of the system set.
