Should desktop integration be GNOME or KDE based?

IMO this should be addressed via a plugin system so that we can have a
well integrated single process VM, without choosing one or the other.
Also, the qemu community doesn't really have serious graphics design
expertise; best to leave that to people who won't make it a total disaster.

They can't, if they want to continue to support hardware without
virtualization extensions.
