You're talking about executing before X server is started, correct?

I trapped the error. Logged out, ran -help, and didn't receive an error.

Updated in revision 23; please confirm.

Use this to upgrade the script quickly:
./wifite.py -upgrade

Use this to upgrade the script quickly:
./wifite.py -upgrade

Need to del/dl the file again because -upgrade shows the error.

Fixed for -help, etc. But running it with no  option display this error :

Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "wifite.py", line 2823, in <module> 
    main() # launch the main method 
  File "wifite.py", line 688, in main 
    root.title('WiFite GUI') 
NameError: global name 'root' is not defined

I think I fixed it in the latest update (revision 24). Tested outside of X and 
it was able to capture a handshake. Please confirm.

Also, thanks a lot for testing.  This really helps me and the other users out a 
lot!
