Hi,
This would require touching a fair bit of code that handles things like
defaults. I'm not sure that having the distinction makes anything
easier to implement.
/me suggests to simply have no default terminals with qemu -gtk.
One thing I was contemplating but ultimately didn't do was QOM-ification
of the GTK front end. I couldn't rationalize why you would need to set
settings but now I think maybe it would be more useful.
With a vte chardev you have an object you can attach settings to, i.e.
-chardev vte,mode={tab,window}.
Right, but you could do the same with QOM, it would look like:
GtkDisplay is-a UserInterface (maybe?)
has-a GtkVirtualConsole "vc0"
has-a GtkVirtualConsole "vc1"
...
GtkVirtualConsole could have a "mode" property.
So from a UI perspective, you would do something like:
-gtk -set /ui/vc0.mode=tab
I think it makes more sense overall as a sub-property of the main ui object
verses a property of a character device (which is only tangentially related to
the UI itself).
