For a multihead setup easiest is spice+qxl indeed. virtio-gpu will be able to do that too, but it isn't merged yet.

With sdl/vnc you can switch between monitors using hotkeys. with sdl2 you get a separate window. gtk allows both (switching using hotkeys or tabs, but also showing tabs as separate windows). cheers, Gerd
