i'll try to explain a little;

SDL is the inner API used by QEMU to display the window with your XP
desktop. as an alternative, QEMU also has an internal VNC server,
which works much better for remote access.

when local, it's usually better to use SDL, so it's the default; but
when you're remote, add "-vnc 1" to the commandline. no window will
be displayed but you can open a second VNC client and connect to the
display '1' (i guess you're already using display '0').

hope that helps
