Comment 2 for bug 284573

Still present in Oneiric.

When I try the gksu line in a terminal, I get the following error:

g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Error sending message: Broken pipe (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting.

For what it's worth, running wireshark as root isn't recommended for security reasons. For a more complete discussion, please see bug #513903
