Thanks for the follow-up, Jeff.  That's exactly what I ended up doing and it
worked perfectly.  I guess the thing to note here is that attempting to
create an rpm with the --enable-wireshark=no option in the spec file will fail.

I don't know if it's worth it - probably not.  It just wasn't clear to me
that there would be 2 rpm's built now, as it's been quite awhile since I
last created Wireshark rpms.  Anyway, now that I know, I actually like it
this way because someone here probably has a RHEL6 server that could support
Wireshark, so for them they can just install the gnome rpm, but that rpm can
be omitted for all the other servers ... and I don't have to do anything
different for either one.
