I do not like having to type the same thing into the monitor every time I start QEmu. But I expressly do _not_ ask to scrap the monitor interface, even if I have no use for it. However, I have no problem maintaining my own fork. Much like I will do with VNC again, since I recently had to use QEmu via VNC and the artefacts are just horrible. Ciao, Dscho
