For 9x this isn't true unless the program uses the console subsystem. So a
regular GUI program has no console.

In any case, this is moving away from my original point: I prefer the old 
behavior.
The first is that I find it convient to be able to switch between the monitor 
(in
an xterm) and the SDL window just by clicking. The second is that one can 
redirect
qemu's input/output (and thus redirect the monitor) which makes hooking into
the monitor (from perhaps a GUI wrapper - I am told that is what qemu 
workstation
does) trivial.
