I tend to wonder whether we actually need this at all, as opposed
to just changing QEMU's behaviour by default.

It makes sense to have tabs per-VC for the things like the HMP
console, serial ports, etc, but I think graphical video outputs
should always be displayed as multiple windows. Putting graphical
outputs as tabs rather defeats the purpose of having multiple
outputs IMHO. 

IOW, why won't we just create 1 gtk window per graphical output
all the time.

With regards,
Daniel
