A newer version of virt-manager should be available shortly after
the 3.3 bit are putback.. However, it's still virt-manager....
May be I'm missing something but using VNC as a console is hellishly
inconvenient.
For example after typing

if your trying to debug something early like this for Windows, local dom0
access and
sdl would be better.

right, as of today, you would need to use a vnc-reflector for that to work..
e.g.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vnc-reflector/
Ideally, you would have qemu connect to the vnc reflector on guest start
(vs listen for a connection) and your vncclient(s) could have a static
connection to the reflector.. But I don't know if qemu can do that today.
So cutting the story short I need some kind of workable XVM client console which would

I have all of my Solaris and Linux consoles use a serial port. But for windows,
you are
right, this isn't ideal...
