"Properly" as in "works on OS X releases that came bundled with X11 and thus
had X11 installed under /usr/X11" or "properly" as in "works on OS X releases
that didn't come bundled with X11, with XQuartz installed, and thus had X11
installed under /opt/X11, including machines where Apple's broken Yosemite
installer removed the symbolic link from /usr/X11 to /opt/X11, created by the
XQuartz installer, as part of the installation process, and didn't put the
symbolic link back when it was done?"

I.e., "properly" would produce a Wireshark that only works with XQuartz
installed, and would only work on systems without XQuartz installed and with
the built-in X11 installed if you did "mkdir /opt; ln -s /usr/X11 /opt/X11".
