Sure there is plenty of room for improvements, but I think those can go
in incrementally ...

/me went for another window because placing the secondary display into a
tab doesn't make that much sense, and this is the minimal patch doing
just that.

It's also not really usable (yet) anyway as we don't have input routing,
atm there is absolutely no way for the guest to figure which display
(absolute) mouse events where coming from.
