doesn’t it prevent seamless virti-viewer console connection?
also the “TODO” in the code about multiple graphics is worrying (we fully 
support it and are considering to make it a default)
If we have an idea of what API would work well? we should raise or contribute 
that to libvirt. Surely it takes time but it is the only way how to improve the 
code eventually.
