I use this account specifically for testing proxies and browsing using but I should really be using this account as Default and using root ONLY to do housekeeping and major things installs etc, This took a little while to get going, but once I'd ironed out any conflicts most things seem to work just fine in there. I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, synaptic, downloading the source and re-compiling, going back to older versions, the whole shebang and EVERY time it ran, it would freeze! The ONLY way around this was for me to learn about User Accounts control in my Backtrack 5 R3 (ubuntu 32-bit) and add a user account which wasn't root. warning but I never really worried too much, thinking that I couldn't possibly damage anything really badly, right? Anyway to cut a long story short, wireshark started hanging up on me when I started it up and told it to capture on ANY interface - it would just freeze. it gave me the usual "wireshark should not be run as root" etc etc. The Mad thing is, I used to have wireshark running on my root user account (which was the only account I had lol) and it worked fine for ages and ages.
usr/local/bin/ - you can just cd into there and then in a terminal execute 'sudo wireshark' it will ask for your user password then everything will be hunky-dory (but it will still warn you about running as root!).
As above - assuming your user account has access to.
