The many display targets sound nice... but what I'd like to have for
qemu is a GUI...

IIRC the GUI patches which were posted so far replaced the SDL driver by
rendering to a GTK widget, because the current way for embedding SDL
into GTK seems to be somewhat hackish.
There have been efforts to create a GTK SDL widget, but I don't know if
that's usable already.

So how could GGI be integrated with eg. a GTK GUI? Is there a way that
is more "stable" than the current SDL way?

PS: Is there an OpenGL display target for GGI? I couldn't find any hint
about that on the homepage, but I think OpenGL is one of the easiest
ways to get 2d hardware acceleration under X11.
