Running wireshark as my default non-priviledged user works fine, as does
running wireshark as root under awesome/gnome.

The wireshark splash displays nicely, showing the modules being loaded,
and I can glance the error dialog stating that some lua functionality
has been disabled, due to being run as root, before wmii crashes, gdm
reloads and prompts me with the user selection to log me in again.

Can anybody confirm this behaviour?

No. Can you perchance provide a backtrace?

Actually, I don't know how to (besides compiling from source), since the
binary from the ubuntu package doesn't contain debug symbols :/

Yes, compiling from source is the thing to do. I believe you can do something like:

  DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip" make deb

The programmer, who needs clarity, who must talk all day to a machine
that demands declarations, hunkers down into a low-grade annoyance.
It is here that the stereotype of the programmer, sitting in a dim
room, growling from behind Coke cans, has its origins.  The disorder
of the desk, the floor; the yellow Post-It notes everywhere; the
whiteboards covered with scrawl: all this is the outward manifestation
of the messiness of human thought.  The messiness cannot go into the
program; it piles up around the programmer.
