Thanks a lot, it works now! After some problems with gtk-warnings  
that I could solve thanks to google, wireshark actually runs :)

But I still have question... I have to open Terminal, and then type  
"open-x11 wireshark". When I launch X11 directly, my .profile is  
ignored somehow... I found on Apple's website that the X11-app uses  
the same settings as the application that launched it, so is there a  
way to force it to use .profile?

I hope this didn't sound totally confused...

Thanks
Sebastian
