Nope, it won't work at the moment. The problem is that NFLOG can only be
opened by one user which is a kernel limitation. From
net/netfilter/nfnetlink_log.c:

        inst = instance_lookup_get(log, group_num);
        if (inst && inst->peer_portid != NETLINK_CB(skb).portid) {
                ret = -EPERM;
                goto out_put;
        }


When wireshark-qt waits in the main screen, it shows a graph for each
interface. Is it generated by "dumpcap -S -Z none"? When capture starts,
those graphs are not shown anymore. Wouldn't be a solution to kill "dumpcap
-S -Z none" when in capture and re-run it again when in home screen?

Kill statistics before starting the capture? Sounds fine to me, though I
am not sure whether it has other side-effects. The Capture -> Options
dialog is another place where these stats are visible.
