However, from your experience, I'm not convinced that it's really
helping, given that, if you're going to enter your own filter, you have
to clear the filter expression (regardless of whether you just type an
expression in there or construct the expression using "Add
Expression"), and given that "name" isn't a very meaningful filter name
(and you can't have more than one filter with a particular name).

You're right - what threw me for a while was that the default name of
'filter' within the string field was just being appended to, whereas I
thought that it was referring to a predefined filter for the
particular protocol type. I think that the fields either need to be
left blank, or the first use of 'Add Expression' needs to clear the
string field.

Yes, I agree.  Any votes on which of those two it should do?
