Sure, here it is:
./qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=../../../qemu-img/windows.img,cache=off 
-readconfig ../docs/ich9-ehci-uhci.cfg -device usb-tablet,bus=ehci.0 -boot 
c -no-acpi -monitor telnet::5100,server,nowait -vnc :1 -m 1024 --enable-kvm 
-cpu host

Client is e.g. Ultra VNC 32 bit under Windows XP V 1.0.8.0 => Just enter 
the IP::Port and connect. Or RealVNC in the same way.
Client OS has german keyboard and german keyboard layout - on the QEMU 
guest side it doesn't matter which input language is set.
Guest is Windows XP SP3 32 bit.

Best regards,

Erik
