Package: ethereal
Version: 0.10.12-1
Severity: normal

I used to run Ethereal with the command "sudo ethereal" from an xterm.
After having upgraded Ethereal to version 0.10.12-1, I get this error:

---CUT---
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified


(ethereal:8050): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
---CUT---

/etc/sudoers, ~/.Xauthority, DISPLAY are ok.  I can still launch Ethereal as
my user or from a root's xterm without problems.  "sudo gimp" works, so it
doesn't seem a Gtk problem either.

Downgrading Ethereal to version 0.10.11-1 is enough to make "sudo ethereal"
work.  When I upgrade to version 0.10.12-1 again, "sudo ethereal" stops working.

BTW, doing "xhost +" solves the problem (I'm protected by a firewall);
"xhost +localhost" does not.
