I think that portion of the code is about line 693 of packet-http.c.

I'd also suggest to replace "Entity body" with "Uncompressed entity
body" or "Compressed entity body", or replace "compressed" with
"decoded" in the add_new_data_source calls. This way it is clearer
to the end-user that the data is (un)compressed.

Hmmm, "Uncompressed entity body" seems to be very long for a tab label.

I had originally done that.  However, each data source requires a tab
with a fixed size equal to the name.  That's ok with the original
layout, but if you choose, say, layout #2, the size of the hex pane
jumps around when selecting decoded HTTP frames.

With the new layouts, we should probably make the tabs overlap, so it's
possible to have any number of data sources without making panes jump
around.  In the meantime, how important is it that Packet Bytes frame
say whether the body is uncompressed or not?  Isn't the description in
the Packet Details pane enough?

What do you mean with tabs overlap?
