would seem to be the best choice. The drawback of dropping Windows XP

officially.

I did not check it myself and just assumed that what was written on the Qt
page was right. If it works with OpenGL and RDP,  that's fine! (and I will
change my local configuration).

seems to be missing. It might be feasible to create a
wireshark-build-essentials metapackage at some point.
