...resulting in a system that has the "stub" X11 installation under /usr/X11
and *nothing* under /opt/X11, which indicates that:

    1) Apple expects X11 binaries to look for libraries etc. under /usr/X11,
not under /opt/X11

and

    2) a wireshark-bin that expects libraries to be in /opt/X11 rather than
/usr/X11 will *crash* when it tries and fails to find its libraries if launched
on a Yosemite system without XQuartz, so, unless the Wireshark wrapper binary
doesn't even try to launch Wireshark if it can't run X11, that'd fail.
