What happens if you try to do

sudo xterm

and what happens if you try to do

xterm

(without the sudo) and what happens if you try to do

wireshark

(without the sudo)?

I had the same issue with the actual Yosemite rollout. I uninstalled both X11 and Wireshark from my new install. I then installed X11 and Wireshark in that order. It all works now and seems to be stable. I hope this helps for you.
