It's the presence of the application that causes the warning, not the way that Wireshark is using it. I'm sure that even if Wireshark were using it, then it would not be using it with malicious intent.
However that said, the Secunia PSI application doesn't usually report patched update available unless there is one. At least not in the 9 months or so that I've been using it. But I guess that there is always a first time, so who knows.

Hi, At the time of 1.2.5 GTK 2.16.2 was the latest version... Besides gdk_window_begin_implicit_paint() is not used by Wireshark So most probably this is a non issue.

True, but if all it takes to put it right is to include the later version, then why not include the later version?
