[et-mgmt-tools] virt-viewer as a browser plugin (patch for discussion only)

[Richard W.M. Jones]

I've been trying to get virt-viewer to run as a browser plugin, based on 
similar work for building a Gtk-VNC plugin.

Attached is a patch for discussion.  It doesn't work, but I'm not 
entirely sure why.  The earlier Gtk-VNC plugin works, and this code does 
basically the same thing but doesn't work.  It connects to the VNC 
server, gets framebuffer updates and everything, it just doesn't draw 
anything -- I'm sure it's something very simple.

Anyway ...

The idea is that you can put the following code into your web page, and 
that will display the corresponding console:

   <embed type="application/x-virt-viewer"
     width="900"
     height="700"
     uri="qemu:///system"
     name="1"
     waitvnc="1">
   </embed>

The full parameters are uri & name (required), waitvnc & direct (optional).

Rich.
