well, I just _assumed_ that the 'almighty' windows
supports something similar (as it really isn't a new
feature) and I don't think that reinventing the panning
inside a qemu gui would be the way to go ...

OTOH, open office did reinvent the workspace too, and
I guess that was inspired by the MS pendant ... so
maybe that's the 'windows' way to handle this after
all ...

best,
Herbert
