(OSX host support is something I do as a sideline to the work I'm paid to do on QEMU, and so my time for it is decidedly limited.) This leaves you with three choices: * find another core developer who will review these for you * implement them for some other QEMU UI layer on a platform which has more people who care about it and thus gets more review (ie Linux+GTK or SDL), and then do the OSX UI updates second as a "bring in line with GTK" change * implement these features in a separate virt-manager for OSX I can continue to review bugfix patches and similar. thanks -- PMM
