Same questions from my side! To uninstall Wireshark didn't help (also rm -r ~/.wireshark*) By accident I have chosen Xcode at first start of Wireshark. Now I can't find the link between Wireshark and Xcode in any of the configuration files (incl. plist) to get rid of the wrong entry. Any help is more than welcome!

I could solve the problem (more or less) with the following workaround: I moved the wrong program/application into the trash and started Wireshark. Voila - I was asked again for the location of X11. After choosing the right application I moved the wrong one back from trash.
