The "matches" operator in display filters fails to detect letter-only hex
values (i.e., "\xAB, \xCD, \xFF", etc). 

The problem is that the GRegex initialization is missing the G_REGEX_RAW flag,
needed to parse raw byte sequences instead of UTF8 strings. See
http://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.30/glib-Perl-compatible-regular-expressions.html#G-REGEX-RAW:CAPS.
