Provision to clear capture buffer from GUI will be helpful in viewing packets related to particular iteration

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start Capture on a port
2. Send traffic from other ports so that port on which capture is started 
receives the packets 
3. Stop Capture on a port 
4. Start Capture
5. Send traffic 
6. Stop Capture
7. Get capture buffer

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected to have only the packets of current capture. But capture buffer is 
having packets from both iterations. Also, not found a way to clear buffer to 
have only packets related to particular iteration.

What version and revision of the product are you using (available in the
About dialog)? On what operating system?
0.5.1 and SUSE Linux

Please provide any additional information below.

- Good to have machanism to clear capture buffer from GUI
- Machanism to capture on Rx packets on port will be very helpfull

Buffer should automatically get cleared after doing a start after a stop. 
Please double check and try on another platform also if possible. 

If buffer is not being cleared after you stop the previous session and start a 
new session, send the drone console log

As you have mentioned capture buffer is getting cleared during start capture. 
But, some reason once i got into the situation where I am seeing packets from 
previous capture. Reboot of the VM solved the issue.

I will send you the logs if I see the issue again.

Thanks for your time.
