Hi,

I am interested by a GTK GUI for QEMU and I think it should be commited 
in the main QEMU CVS.

Some notes about the GUI:

- Avoid using SDL or SDL wrappers: it is simpler to use plain GTK or GDK 
to draw the VGA frame buffer.

- I am not sure that handling multiple VMs running at the same time is 
very useful (some architectural changes are needed in QEMU). But 
switching easily between VM configurations seems interesting.

- The VM description management must be integrated in the QEMU core. I 
plan to work on it soon (Renzo Davoli sent patch I need to study).

- The VM console should be available in a separate TAB for the hackers !

- Of course there should be commands to eject/insert medias, to change 
the hard disk images and to update the VM configuration (ideally a 
simple dialog for dummies and a more technical one to change IRQs, IO 
ports, number of interfaces).
