Is not. At least, is not if someone can figure out how to get qemu to turn
autohide on by itself, and restore the state when it quites. If the user has
to do this manually each time, it could get annoying.

The user or the program? If you mean the user, I agree ... but if you mean
qemu, then I don't. qemu itself has to modify the host environment in order
to create the illusion. For example, qemu changes video modes when running in
X11.
