[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH] Fix pasting into serial console in GTK ui

[Michal Suchanek]

This copies the timer hack from ui/console.c kbd_send_chars to ui/gtk.c
gd_vc_in.

There is no fd-like object to peek repatedly so the paste data is saved
in a free-floating buffer only submitted to gtk_timeout_add. Multiple
pastes can potentially interleave if qemu blocks for long or the user
pastes fast.
