I'm basically copying the same code / approach we've already done with GTK-VNC & SPICE-GTK I've got a patch here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-08/msg02058.html but that almost certainly won't apply to current GIT master, so I'll be sending updated versions soonish. > > In the meantime your best bet is to use the native OS-X cocoa frontend for > > QEMU, or VNC. > > > > That's... awkward since it would mean copying the VM over to mac... VNC > might work though... VNC would be my recommendation, or perhaps SPICE if you want some of its extra features over VNC.
