The thing to do is to install wireshark on the system without X.

Then from a machine with X:
ssh -Xf user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wireshark

Yours is the coolest answer, though the others were also helpful.

You can also 'ssh -Y user@machine', log in and 'wireshark &' to start it, which will open a new window on your desktop. I think you also need to install wireshark-gnome for the GUI part.

When capturing, you'll probably want to do capture/options and add a capture filter like 'not host your_desktop' to ignore the traffic that the window is sending.
