yesterday you can find the TCP conversation from the Statistics menu and
click on buttons to launch graphs for A->B or B->A.  I didn't use TCP
Stream Graphs back in 1.6 but there is no need to close one graph now
before opening another.

The control window that (now) pops up alongside the graph allows you to
toggle between the various graph types.  For the buttons I mentioned above,
I made always start with Time / Sequence (tcptrace-style), because that
seems to be the most useful one.  I suppose this could be controlled by a
preference.

This changes are available in the current sources, or in the most recent
automated builds.
