The ability to set X11 geometry would be extremely useful. I frequently use 4 VMs at a time and I have to resize them manually each time I boot them. I see that there is an option on the Advanced -> QEMU/KVM Window Options to set the "Initial Graphics Mode", but the option does not work. Also, that option only has size ("Width" and "Height"). I would like to see "Initial XPos", "Initial YPos" as well.

Thanks again for a great program! Eager to see the next version!

    Hi Jim.
    Advanced->QEMU/KVM Window Options->Initial Graphics Mode - is option for PowerPC and Sparc targets. It set initial graphic mode before boot OS in this emulators.

    About your request:
    In current time I'm working on the completion of version 0.8, new features not be added in this release (Only bug fixes).
    I'll do this later, in version 0.8.1.

    Technical details:
    If use the embedded display, it is easily done by means of Qt. For nativ QEMU\KVM window will need to use opportunity X11. Later I'll explore it.

    This is a feature request you should address at your window manager. There are many that already can automate stuff like that.
