I admit to not being much of a fan of this feature of the
Cocoa UI, but it has been in QEMU's OSX UI since 2005.
In particular, if you remove it then double-clicking to
start QEMU from the Finder won't do anything useful, and
you now have to start it from the command line.

I agree that it does somewhat assume the x86-centric
"just provide a disk image" semantics, but it's not clear
to me that the most appropriate way to deal with this is
to just rip the dialog box code out entirely.
