Hi,

just a short feedback on your qemu gui:

- -looks nice so far :)
- -does it require a new(er) GTK? I only have 2.6.10 installed here, maybe
that's why it doesn't find "GTK_STOCK_LEAVE_FULLSCREEN"
- -make install misses "camera.png"
- -the toolbar functions are useful (would be bad if they wouldn't ;)
- -the toolbar hiding in fullscreen mode is really cool
- -the software scaler is maybe a good idea, but for fullscreen mode, I'd
better like to have screen resolution switched to qemu guest resolution
(as it is with normal qemu now)
- -sometimes the mouse can't be moved beyond some point on the guest
screen... But I don't know when that happens and cannot really reproduce  it
- -"mouse button up" events seem to be delayed somewhat: when clicking on
an icon on the desktop of a Windows guest and releasing the mouse
button, then dragging the mouse will drag the icon a bit
- -the windows key doesn't seem to work

Apart from these (minor) glitches I quite liked the GUI. Btw. for the
fullscreen mode you might want to have a look at the thread about Jim's
GTK GUI - these issues have already been talked about there.
