While I would not stop you from starting a nice big interesting
project you can already run Wireshark remotely
via HTTP using GTK+ 3's Broadway backend.
You just need to use a tunnel for HTTP and it works way better on
high-latency networks than X forwarding.
I attached a screnshot to show it really works. ;-)
Cheers,
