I tried VirtualBox and it does something sane here: while it does not give a
larger guest screen area, it at least creates a large enough X window, with
any border area whited out.
That looks far more pleasing aesthetically than the Qemu method of resizing
the full window wildly. The guest still resizes, but it stays within the same
X window and the border is white.
Also, with Windows guests, the Windows side resolution resizes dynamically if
the window is grown/shrunk by the user. (I suspect that is done via a paravirt
driver on the guest side, through 'Guest Additions'.)
