N.B The case I'm refereeing to is "when run from build directory" presumably the "user" is the one who built it.
And if you call Wireshark with environment variables set hopefully you know what you are doing...

At least on UN*X, we never set running_in_build_directory_flag to TRUE if we were started with special privileges, so 
"running from build directory" and "running with elevated privileges" are mutually-exclusive.
