... particularly if those "new" things are tech that had been outdated 20 years ago already.

Thanks for the hint.

I fiddled the ddd call directly in a copy of the wireshark invocation script (basically calling ddd ./libs/wireshark), 
but still couldn't see any source code.

ddd .libs/wireshark works for me (on Debian Squeeze).

Learning new things sometimes involves PITA. :-)

I used the call given below, but replaced 'gdb' with 'ddd'. ddd doesn't
display any source code though, so there's still something going wrong.

This stuff is a PITA. Can't I even use a graphical debugger frontend to
debug Wireshark?
