Sure, I explain:

Instead of having gui for every platform supported by qemu, the qemu
display could be the ui.
Perhaps taking an example would be simpler for me:
what is qemu doing for now is taking his options from the command line,
then launching a display (a window). If qemu was launching his display
earlier, config param (bios path, disk image etc) could be entered in a
menu on screen - and perhaps written on a config file, session - Sorry if
this seems strange, it's just an idea.

Et maintenant en français:

Ce que je pensais: plutôt que d'intégrer une GUI pour chaque système,
utiliser la fenêtre créée par qemu, un peu comme le menu disponible
avec mplayer ou plus généralement -et bêtement- les jeux win ou linux.
C'est juste une idée comme ça, mais par exemple un menu option au
premier lancement de qemu, accessible par la suite par une touche.
