Don't rely on virt-manager for this. Not that I have anything against
virt-manager but there are many layers between you and the end GUI if you go
that route.
Funny that you should mention this. It was actually what I started out
with. I went for SDL because it was a low-hanging fruit after the VNC
patches which I didn't do myself.
However, it was never figured out if there was going to be a virtio
transport for GPU commands:

where you're at.
Completely agreed. I think Sasha is actually starting to work on this. See
the "Secure KVM" thread on kvm@.
