This does not look like the usual XQuartz menu. Wireshark 1.99 (Development Release) on OS X I recently reinstalled Wireshark on my home MacBook Pro and, oh, what’s this?

Still, at least it meant I still had Wireshark, so I was willing to tolerate the quirks of running Wireshark on OS X, not limited to the app running but not displaying the app window anywhere (supposedly a “feature” introduced when Apple changed how Spaces worked in Mountain Lion). This isn’t the sweetest of arrangements – truth be told the app looks clunky and, well, like it’s written using X-Windows for its GUI.

I must have been living under a deep sea rock or something because I have been running Wireshark for a while now on my Mac and since Mountain Lion was released, it has been necessary to install XQuartz so that there’s an X-Server running on the machine, and Wireshark then runs using X for its GUI.
