*Urk*

Should some less fragile mechanism be provided, so that Pilot (and other programs that might want to use Wireshark) don't get broken by GLib changes we don't notice?  (Yes, Pilot might have to determine whether the new mechanism is available, and fall back on the older mechanism if it isn't.)
