Description Pete Zaitcev 2011-11-09 20:49:47 UTC

Description of problem:

When starting Wireshark, it pops a dialog warning about the insufficient
priviledges. 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.

A possible fix would be to patch Wireshark so that the dialog goes
_on top_, like all modal dialogs should. However, I suggest we change
the command line or other packaging so that it does not even pop
that dialog at all.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

wireshark-1.4.9-1.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run wireshark from Activities
  
Actual results:

Dead window

Expected results:

Either the modal dialog on top, or no dialog whatsoever

That's interesting... The dialog is generic error reporter from underlying 'dumpcap' helper. It can display also other important errors, thus I don't want to remove it completely. I'm not a GTK developer, but I'll try to do something about it.

Out of curiosity, what happens if you try to capture some packets? The same dialog should be displayed, is it modal and 'on top'?

Comment 2 Jan Safranek 2011-11-10 14:02:12 UTC

I filled a bug upstream together with a simple patch, let's wait what they say.

Comment 3 Pete Zaitcev 2011-11-10 16:24:09 UTC

If I initiate a capture, a dialog appears: "You didn't specify an interface...".
This dialog is modal (e.g. clicking on the title of the main window does not
obscure it).

The initial dialog "Couldn't run /usr/sbin/dumpcap ..." is not modal in that
if I click on the main window, it returns on top of the dialog. Looks like
the equivalent of Window Manager ignored some attributes, perhaps.
