It works OK for me on Windoze (1.8.1, XP, 32-bit); here I dragged a PCAP
file onto the Wireshark icon on my desktop.

It works OK for me on Fedora Core 10 (SVN, GTK-2.14.7-9, 64-bit); here I dragged a PCAP file into a running (from the build directory) Wireshark
(Wireshark isn't installed so I have no icon for the executable).

After a distclean, it works for me on Windows XP SP3 32-bit, r44768
(as well as
Windows 7 64-bit -- forget which revision, but not quite r44768).

I had encountered this problem once upon a time though and filed bug
5987[1] for
it, which actually seemed to be a duplicate of bug 6457[2].

Hmm, it seems neither of those. So either it's related to the specific GTK version (on KDE?), or the fact that I used Dolphin (the KDE File Mananager) as source for the capture file DND.
The plot thickens... ;)

Thanks,
Jaap
