Multiple processes are not a `resort'. And of course an IM client
needs to do a lot less than qemu, and the things that it does do are
much less hairy.

I'm not sure how well qemu's processing model will fit in with GUI
toolkits. I wouldn't trust Qt and Gtk not to make expectations which
are reasonable in a `general purpose' program but not sensible in
qemu's context.

Nonsense.
