"Saved", from my previous paragraph, might be the answer - perhaps 
statistics need a button to "disconnect" the window from the capture, so 
that changes to the capture (closing it, re-filtering it, changing 
preferences, etc.) won't affect it.

Unfortunately, "Save" would probably not be very intuitive, as people 
would (quite reasonably) expect that to mean "save to a file".  I'm not 
sure what would be the obvious way to say "don't update this window if I 
change something" ("disconnect" probably isn't it, either).
