I like that and would like to use it to grab screenshots periodically
to shrink and show thumbnails in a web page or GUI.  Isn't it better
to use VNC for that than asking QEMU to dump a screenshot itself,
because the latter will pause QEMU for a moment?

Only trouble is, I want that to work even if someone has connected by
VNC to QEMU to actually use it - and they might connect in exclusive mode.

An option to serve a read-only VNC on another port would be nice :-)

Just saying..
