Then it's an X11 bug.  File a bug:

    http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/

(it looks as if you'll need an account).

Currently, Wireshark is built with GTK+, and the version it's built with is the
X11 version rather than the "native OS X" version (the latter version may not
be as well-developed as the X11 version), so you *have* to have X11 installed,
and, starting with Mountain Lion, OS X doesn't ship with an X11 optional
install, you have to install XQuartz yourself.

We're looking at switching to Qt:

    http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/QtShark

whose OS X (and Windows!) support is, I think, a bit better than GTK+'s; on OS
X, a Qt version of Wireshark will *not* require X11.

XQuartz's application bundle is called XQuartz, not X11; look for "XQuartz"
rather than "X11" in Utilities.
