BTW, Wireshark is a Really Big Program (as is TShark), and, even without user
plugins, you might want to think twice about running it as root. You might
want to consider making dumpcap set-UID root instead.
(I'm also not sure whether GTK+, when running as root, will load user theming
plugins; Wireshark is a GTK+ application....)
That would mean that anybody could do captures; perhaps dumpcap needs to have
some way of specifying which users are allowed to use it.
