An item in root's $PATH that refers to the directory in which  
Wireshark was installed?

See whether it's installed in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, or some X11 or  
GNOME binary directory.

You could, but that's harder and more likely to have problems.

No.  /usr/share isn't where binaries are put - it's for stuff that can  
be shared between machines with different instruction sets ("/usr/ 
share" was a Sun invention, for use with diskless workstations of 3  
different instruction sets, namely 68K, x86, and SPARC).  HTML files  
are text, and instruction-set-independent; those are HTML versions of  
man pages and some templates used for various features such as mapping  
of IP addresses to locations.
