While we are on the topic of guis: We currently have two:
tshark and gtk2.

We have two UIs, one of which is a GUI and one of which is a command-
line UI.  TShark isn't a GUI app, and isn't supposed to be.  It reads
the capture file only once; if we get to the point where we can read
capture files from pipes, that could be a useful capability.

The Development Wish List on the Wiki lists the possibility of doing an ncurses based text-mode application that would be full-screen and more like a normal GUI. That could be helpful when on a remote machine and one needs to have a more Wireshark like interface.
