No. Somone released a file called nosdl.c which did that, though it was for a 
really
old version of qemu it may still work. (The way it was written was sort of a
hack, though.)

AFAIK the sole objection to using Xlib is because you can't write a GUI using it
(well technically you could, but clearly using GTK or Qt is better for that
task). Fabrice wants a fully integrated GUI into qemu, so he probably won't 
accept
Xlib patches.

I agree with you there. (In fact, I may take the nosdl.c and write an up2date
version if I can find the time.)
