Just updated to Wireshark 1.0 and I can confirm this issue still exists.
Gutsy had the root menu option but Hardy does not. Was this accidentally
or intentionally removed? Without Wireshark as root, you cannot use the
program for its primary purpose. Having to revert to a command is
unsatisfactory; Gutsy had it right. If there is to be only one Wireshark
option in the menu, then it should be the one that runs as root, but I
believe most users who have chosen to install Wireshark would be happy
having both options in their menu. It's better to have both options
there by default (with the ability to disable them if desired), rather
than having only the crippled option and having to add the useful one
manually.
** Changed in: wireshark (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
