Just use the -vnc option.  This way you can connect to the VGA output if 
you need to using VNC but ues RDP for everything else.

BTW, I assume you're doing something like -cdrom /dev/cdrom (or at least 
the Windows equivalent).

In QEMU 0.8.2, which KVM is based on, there is very poor support for the 
host CDROM device.  This has been improved in CVS though.
