Hi,
The original motivation is related to an use-case with a guest with
multi-displays. In that use case, we wanted to have all guest displays
placed side by side from beginning. Virtual consoles other than guest
displays (e.g. virtio-gpu-pci) are not actually needed but I found doing
"detach-all" is the simplest way.

This option might not be that useful for other use cases.. but at the
same time, I'm pretty sure this will work universally (won't break
anything..) but for now, I think it's good idea to limit this to GTK.
