Considering that the "new packet list" effort took multiple years and that was just using a different part of GTK to 
implement our packet list, the move to QT will take quite a while.  Our fast and complex use of the GUI mainly with the 
packet list takes a surprisingly large amount of work to (re-)implement.

Is there any GTK specific parts?  Usually, Wireshark handles the GUI for you.
