Hi Antonie,

Command line switch to disable SDL zoom, because zoom is quite ugly with
window managers that use fixed layouts (like awesomewm). Especially
because there is no possibility to reset the window to the "correct"
size.
I think this is a valuable feature but I'd prefer to not add another
-sdl-<feature> option. In fact, I'd like to get rid of the existing ones.
I'd suggest that you look at introducing a new -display option. The
syntax would look like this:
-display sdl,frame=off,scaling=off
-display vnc,address=:3,tls
If you use the recently introduced QemuOptions framework, it should be
very straight forward. I would accept an initial patch that just
converted sdl as vnc is a bit more difficult.
The advantages of this approach are numerous beyond just aesthetics.
This would allow these display properties to be manipulated via the -set
option which means that eventually, they'll be tunable via a host
configuration file. It also puts together some interfaces for
supporting multiple graphics cards for guests and multiple display backends.
