We do, via QTreeView (packet_list.cpp) and QAbstractItemModel
(packet_list_model.cpp).

I doubt that we'll be linking TShark with Qt, so I don't think its non-GUI classes will be available for dissectors to use.  (Qt isn't, as far as I know, split into a "non-GUI utility library" like GLib and a "GUI toolkit" like GTK+.)

types and functionality (QString, QThread, etc) and QtGui corresponds to
GTK+, providing the UI classes.
