Funny you should mention that. Anthony had code todo exactly that against for both QEMU and GTK-VNC a while back. We had it in the GTK-VNC for a short while but removed it due to some race conditions in its impl, and it interracted badly with our OpenGL impl. We could easily revisit this idea if it were thought to be important / useful.
