I don't think completely eliminating GLib is a project for 2.0 (or whatever the version number of the Qt-as-the-default Wireshark will be).

That might happen in the future, but that means changing a lot more of Wireshark to C++ code.  I don't have a problem with doing that, but I do note, for what it's worth, that I can see the compile process notably slow down once it hits the ui/qt directory. :-)
