Problems running ethereal

[stan]

I'm trying to use ethereal to debug some things. 

When I try to run it form teh menu (with the as root) option
nothing happens.

When I open up an xter, do "su - ; export HOME=/home/stan ;
export DISPLAY=0:0" I get an error message that says:

Could not set capabilites: Operation not permited

How can I fix this?
