This is an interesting definition of "cumbersome" -- personally
I would say the long -display option is the cumbersome one :-)
The cumbersome was rather meant from a code / maintenance side of view. But
I think the naming of this parameter is also quite misleading. It really
just blocks the closing button of the window, you can still quit QEMU by
other means (e.g. with the "Quit" menu item in the GTK menu or by shutting
down the guest), so the "window_close=off" wording is certainly more
understandable.
... and by the way, I think the documentation in qemu-options.hx is
inaccurate, too, it only talks about SDL, but it seems like this option is
also available with GTK. So this -no-quit option really seems like old cruft
to me which we should try to get rid of...
