Thanks for the bug report.

Connecting 3rd party client apps to Unity8 requires them to have something like this string on their command line:
    --desktop_file_hint=unity8
because Unity8 will actually inspect the command line of the app.

So if you're lucky, your app supports '--' and you can go:
    wireshark -- --desktop_file_hint=unity8

If you're unlucky then that won't work and you need either the app/toolkit to add '--' support, or to ask the Unity8 team nicely to remove the desktop_file_hint requirement.

Please let us know how it goes...
