Confirmed, this is I suppose an oversight rather than a bug (splitting
hairs?)

The problem stems from the fact that regular users do not have
sufficient privileges to capture packets, so the interfaces are not
shown. http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges explains
this in a little more detail. Elevating privileges using gksu would do
the job nicely I think, as a suggestion.
