[Spice-devel] qxl and page flip

Problem is extending the qxl protocol requires changes on the host
side.  A fix which doesn't need that has the advantage that it'll work
on hosts with old spice-server and qemu versions.

We can look into qxl protocol changes too of course, so we'll have
something better long-term.

cheers,
