I can't use Wireshark on latest OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
Previously, I was using XQuartz to run X11 applications like Wireshark.
But, yesterday, after I upgraded my iMac operating system to OS X 10.9, I got this:
But I had installed it before I upgraded OS X.
How can I get Wireshark / X11 / XQuartz to run again after upgrading to Mavericks?
Try checking your Purchases in the App Store to see if its there, if so you should be able to resume it and/or install it from here if its completed downloading. See https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4485.
You should also be able to clear a download from the Purchases section by clicking the 'X' which would appear next to the 'Status Button' of the item you wish to clear.
For example in the picture below if you hover your mouse over to the left of the 'Downloaded' button a 'X' should appear.
In your case that Status Button should say 'Resume', you can choose to resume by clicking on it or clearing it by hovering to the left of the button until the 'X' appears.
Failing that, call Apple customer service, they should be able to help.
EDIT: try checking for unfinished downloads via the menu bar and signing out/in and retrying the download.
EDIT: try checking and resuming the download in your Launchpad, progress should be shown on/in Launchpad. you can also delete the App in Launchpad by clicking and holding on the App until a close 'X' appears on the App. Then try re-downloading the App from the App Store.
Try the following command (once you're logged in on OS X):
export XAUTHORITY=/home/your_name/.Xauthority
and then try some innocuous X app, like xeyes. If it works, you can put that statement in your .bashrc file.

Re-install XQuartz 2.7.4 (the latest version as of this writing).
I saw the same problem. I already had XQuartz 2.7.4 installed and working with Wireshark before I installed Mavericks. After installing Mavericks and trying to launch Wireshark, I got the same dialog you did. Re-installing XQuartz 2.7.4 solved the problem for me.
