Thanks for the reply.

Yup. That was it. About says: "Compiled ... without SMI"

Building wireshark *with* SMI made it work. I therefore suggest that 
there is a bug in SNMP preferences:

For future reference: To build a local version of wireshark *with* SMI 
support on ubuntu intrepid, I did the following:

$ sudo apt-get install libsmi2-common libsmi2-dev libsmi2ldbl
$ sudo apt-get build-dep wireshark
$ mkdir wireshark
$ cd wireshark
$ apt-get source wireshark
$ cd wireshark-1.0.3
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc
$ cd ..
$ sudo dpkg -i tshark_1.0.3-1ubuntu2.2_i386.deb \
     wireshark-common_1.0.3-1ubuntu2.2_i386.deb \
     wireshark_1.0.3-1ubuntu2.2_i386.deb

(I did get it to work, and looking through my shell history, these are 
the relevant commands. It is possible I forgot to mention something, though)
