This sort of explains what's going on here.  But there's still something odd
.When I select any one of the 4 graphs in the sub menu, I get an error
message "Ethereal Warning: Selected packet is not a TCP Segment" even when
the packet is a TCP. I upgraded from 0.9.3 to 0.9.4 today and get the same
message. See attached PNG.

I still don't get a pull-right menu on for Match or Prepare regardless of
which frame is selected.  But "Follow TCP Stream" does work, so at least
some part of Ethereal recognisies a TCP sequence when it sees one. See
attached PNG.
