Where does wireshark write its error messages to?  I did a "sudo port  
-uRv upgrade wireshark" via MacPorts on a PowerPC G5 Mac OS 10.4.11  
system and while it upgraded wireshark from 0.997 to 1.0  
successfully, wireshark will no longer start up its GUI under X- 
windows like it used to although it seems to be running without  
crashing (i.e., it seems to be running headless).  On the other hand,  
a similar command on a Intel-based Mac OS 10.4.11 system successfully  
resulted in an upgrade from 0.997 to 1.0.0 and also successfully runs  
under X-windows.  I'd like to find out what's making my PPC version  
go all coy on me and refuse to show its GUI... ;-)
