Although I have used VMware for years, I am just a newbie with this 
Fedora/Linux Virtualization.  My initial want was for the display which you 
are addressing.  The qemu/qemu-kvm have so many options I have not figured out 
what they all mean.  Maybe some other more knowledgeable users have some input 
here.

When you get some of the changes done to virt-manager, please get the package 
added to the preview set ... right now, the virtualization stuff is enough to 
deal with and I do not want to deal with f12 rawhide/development.
