That's sad!

The problem is: The GtkFileSelector we use has a fixed layout on this and can't be changed.
We cannot easily change the layout of the whole box, as we only have a single 
point to add our own Widget(s).

I don't see a good and easy solution to this. 

One solution could be to put the "Packet Range" into it's own dialog, and print only a summary line in the save dialog "Save all captured packets" and a button "Range" to call the packet range dialog to change the setting.

This will require some more work on this, and will make the dialog even less intuitive :-(
