[wplug] Finding an App

[Jonathan S Billings]

The GUI app comes in the 'ethereal-gnome' package.  There is, however,
/usr/sbin/tethereal, which is a text-based sniffer.

I typed 'rpm -ql ethereal' to get the listing of files in the package. 
I typed 'rpm -qf /usr/sbin/ethereal' to see what package I had installed
which provided the ethereal binary.  Since you hadn't installed the
-gnome package, then the -qf option wouldn't work.  But you can see what
is installed with the -ql option.
