Sorry for the not reviewing these patches earlier...

This patch is fine but I'm still on the fence about exposing this in the UI at
all:

1) qemu:///system doesn't work out of the box, which is the common
virt-manager usage
2) the setting isn't really useful in isolation, needs to be combined with
virtio-vga + accel3d setting at least, but the UI doesn't give any help here
3) I fear a trickle of bug reports like 'hey I clicked the GL option but 3D in
my windows VM still sucks'

I'd rather point people at virt-xml invocations until at least the
qemu:///system issues are straightened out. And after that expose this with
maybe some guest OS awareness, warnings/explaining tooltips, be explicit about
errors like if a user tries to connect remotely, etc.... But I'm not 100% sold
either way. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Cole
