This is most likely the new QT based version, which is still being ported from the GTK version and does not yet have all the features. You'll have to install (or run, if already installed) the GTK version to get the "old" interface.

Oh, really! GTK+ 3 frontend works well. (USE flags: -gtk2 gtk3 -qt4 ) I've just filled a bug on gentoo.

Also maybe just small notice here: http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html/#idp386418628 should be great.

Thanks a much.
