hi all !
I'm using version wireshark-1.0.3-1.fc9.i386.
This only happens in this machine. others, with previous versions work fine.
The problem is the following.
I connect remotely to an linux server. X11 forward is enabled in SSH
configuration. I start wireshark,  but hen, only after many minutes, the
interface appears. It takes to long in that first windows "registering
....".
Any ideas ? This machine is behind a "Smoothwall firewall", but I disabled
traffic shapping...

There was some discussion on this on -dev recently. One possibly relevant answer is here:
