When running a capture, one can have the capture stats dialog hidden, and the
packet list updating in real time. This is nice.

Sometimes when doing a long-term capture using multiple files, I like to go the
other way and just have the capture stats dialog up so I know it's running,
and have the packet list doing nothing.

Feature request:
A second checkbox that is mutually exclusive with the "Hide capture dialog"
that allows one to hide the main window frame instead. This would leave just
the Capture dialog cluttering the desktop and task bar.
