When starting Wireshark, it pops a dialog warning about the insufficient
priviledges ("Couldn't run /home/jsafrane/project/wireshark-git/dumpcap in
child process: Permission denied"). It was fine before, but in GNOME Shell this
dialog gets _under_ the main window. Result is the unresponsive main window in
the view and no clue what's wrong.
My investigation shows that if the message box is displayed when the main
window is in GDK_WINDOW_STATE_WITHDRAWN state (i.e. the main window is being
composed and it is not shown yet), the message box gets overlapped by the main
window when it's finally shown.
Attached patch fixes the problem for me.
