To summarise on Ubuntu 8.04 the following freeze when choosing an interface:-

 gksudo wireshark
 gksu wireshark
 gksu -u root wireshark
 su-to-root -X -c /usr/bin/wireshark

(The last item required installation of 'menu' which the su-to-root script is part of and causes the "Wireshark (as root)" menu item to appear after login in again)

The following method works on Ubuntu 8.04:-

 sudo wireshark

The following methods all work on Ubuntu 7.10:-

 gksudo wireshark
 gksu wireshark
 gksu -u root wireshark
 sudo wireshark
