The recent file needs an extra value for gui.time_format.
Presently allowed values are RELATIVE, ABSOLUTE, ABSOLUTE_WITH_DATE, DELTA,
EPOCH, but Wireshark now (since 0.99.6, I think) has two versions of delta.
The first three seem to be recorded correctly.
"Seconds Since Previous Captured Packet" is recorded as DELTA.
"Seconds Since Previous Displayed Packet" is recorded as EPOCH.
"Seconds Since Epoch" is recorded as (null).
On startup Wireshark interprets the non-null values the same as recorded (so
EPOCH gives "Seconds Since Previous Displayed Packet"). Null gives relative
time.
The obvious fix of adding a new value DELTA_DISPLAYED will cause a one-time
glitch for people who like "Seconds Since Previous Displayed Packet" - they'll
get "Seconds Since Epoch" until they change it. I don't think that's serious if
it's mentioned in the release notes.
