Sadly, that means that the Wireshark installer can't fix the problem, as, in
those cases, Wireshark may already have been installed.

We might be able to fix this in the Wireshark wrapper program (the actual
program for the Wireshark app bundle is, in the GTK+ version of Wireshark, a
wrapper that runs the real Wireshark program, and that's the program that's
getting the error).

We'd probably have the wrapper program check whether "/opt/X11" exists, and
whether "/usr/X11 exists", and if "/opt/X11" exists but "/usr/X11" doesn't, run
"ln" using the AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges() function.
