*NIX users effectively already have that, but not as a Wireshark option:

1) Start Wireshark from Applications->Internet->Wireshark (on Fedora) 
--> stdout/stderr goes to oblivion

2) Start Wireshark from the command line --> stdout/stderr is visible

[3) Start Wireshark from the command line while redirecting output 
elsewhere...]

I imagine changing (1) to behave more like it can on Windows would be 
more of a challenge than it is worth, but then again I always start 
Wireshark from the command line.
