Wireshark needs root privileges?

Despite warnings about running Wireshark as root, on my Ubuntu 9.10 system the app sees no network interfaces unless I run it as root. Is this normal? I've googled for "Ubuntu wireshark" and it does seem that self-styled journalists (blogs) recommend running as root, but I do not trust them for best practices.
