Yes, #9 is on my list just for completeness. As I said before, I am 
trying to figure out a way of having these user requirements addressed. 
Although I initially proposed this to be included in virt-viewer, I am 
really open to discussion here. So, although #9 is already available in 
virt-viewer, it is important to have it here in case, for instance, I go 
down the path to implement these features in virt-manager --- which 
doesn't support #9 to the best of my knowledge.

Best regards,

Leonardo Garcia
