libvirt, kvm, virt-manager - arguably all of them :-) We really need to
either tunnel the character device backend streams over VNC, or add a
remote streams access API to libvirt, or virt-manager could do an ssh
tunnel. VNC tunnelling is what I'd really like todo because that gives
a solution that can work with even normal VNC clients like Vinagre.
