The GTK display type has been introduced in 1.5, replacing SDL as default. Some
options only work with SDL and not GTK. This patch tries to address them.

The `-display` option is updated with the new `gtk` option.

The `-alt-grab` and `-ctrl-alt` options are not possible in GTK according to
commit 5104a1f65088285ddf870aa641b9061064e8757d, this is now mentioned
explicitly. Another related change is that only Ctrl-Alt-G can be used for
(un)grbabing.

Window scaling seems also to be a SDL-specific feature and has been marked as
such.

This is a clear improvement.  However, we fail to mention VNC everywhere,
which actually works pretty much like SDL.  This might go as a separate
change however...

See coments below...

I'd made a reference to -display option here, and s/SDL display mode/SDL display/.

Not a comment about this particular patch, but I think we should disallow
-alt-grab for modes where it makes no sense (or at least warn about that
usage).  For example, as stated, -alt-grab does not work for gtk, so we
may as well warn in case `-display gtk -alt-grab'.  Ditto for -display none
maybe.

-alt-grab is also ignored by vnc -- should we change/fix that?

is it sdl-specific?

I did not know that the monitor could be used inside the VNC UI. I will try to 
update the docs with it. Aside, the `-display vnc=:0` option looks odd and 
inconsistent with other options. It would look saner if something like `-
display vnc,display=:0` was possible.

While we are at it, the `-display sdl` option contains:

    "...see the SDL documentation for other possibilities..."

Which documentation is meant? External documentation on the sdl website? The 
part about Ctrl-Alt-F? The `-sdl` option, which is extensively documented? 
("Enable SDL."). Or.. the `qemu-system-x86_64 --help` output? Shall I change 
something like `@item sdl` to `@item sdl[,frame=on|off],...` for clarity in the 
manual page?

Done, I now explicitly note that it was made for sdl and mentioned the `-
display sdl` option.

A warning message would be nice indeed. The option should be ignored, not 
abort the startup as it may break configurations (in theory).

> -alt-grab is also ignored by vnc -- should we change/fix that?
As is -ctrl-grab, what about keeping it as-is? VNC is remote anyway, if -*-
grab does not change the default ctrl-alt modifier, it will provide a 
consistent experience. I have no strong preference on this though.

Apparently yes. In GTK, Ctrl-Up results in "5A" being inserted, Ctrl-Down in 
"5B" and similar results for PageUp/PageDown. In VNC, pressing those keys have  
no effect.

I think most users do not care about the technology (SDL vs GTK), the menu bar 
is the most obvious difference. I have changed it to:

    "Display video output via GTK in a separate window which includes a menu 
bar."

I have added the "(GTK and SDL)" note to Ctrl-Alt-[f+-] to make clear that it 
is not available in other displays such as VNC. (VNC clients may have their 
own shortcuts for toggling fullscreen though). There seems also a bug in the 
C-A-[-+[ handling in SDL that needs some attention 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1187319)

Once I get more feedback on this I will send v2.

Thanks,
Peter
