Yes, you should.  When I read your capture file, I do - in the "Source"
and "Destination" columns in the packet list (topmost) pane, there are
IPv6 addresses, and they also appear in the detail (middle) pane in the
"Source address" and "Destination address" fields.

If, however, you are running on Windows, a bug - fixed in the current
CVS tree, so it'll be fixed in the next release - causes the "Source"
and "Destination" columns in the topmost pane to be blank for IPv6
addresses.
