Not sure how we want to proceed with that in the long run, though
... IIRC clearly, Paolo once said that it doesn't really belong into
"-display" anyway and should be handled with the separate "-vnc"
option instead?

Other way around, -display vnc should be dropped. -display is about
local displays, and there can be only one instance. -vnc / -spice
enable remote access, and this can be done in addition to a local
display.
not possible:
-display gtk + -display sdl
possible:
-display gtk + -vnc
-display gtk + -vnc + -spice
-display none + -vnc + -spice
For what it's worth, Libvirt uses both -vnc and -spice, so we might
very well proceed with Gerd's idea. If we don't like -vnc and -spice
then it may be possible to QOMify them and go with -object.
Are we ready to deprecate -display vnc?
If nobody disagrees, I'd say yes.
