The last time I used qemu a few years ago, I ended up running wine
from the guest as an X client, using the host's display. The display
was native, and faster than the emulation. I also didn't have to build
the full-blown X-server on the guest. Here are my latest scripts/commands
1) The install startup script
#!/bin/bash
sudo /usr/bin/qemu-kvm \
-vga vmware \
-vnc :2 \
-redir tcp:60022::22 \
-cpu qemu32 \
-m 3072 \
-hda sda.raw -hdb sdb.raw -cdrom installx86.iso -boot d
2) Launching vncviewer
vncviewer localhost:2
3) ssh from the guest to the host
ssh root@localhost
4) ssh from the host to the guest
ssh -p 60022 root@localhost

I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
