This enables VteTerminal to be used to render the text consoles. VteTerminal is
the same widget used by gnome-terminal which means it's VT100 emulation is as
good as they come.
It's also screen reader accessible, supports copy/paste, proper scrolling and
most of the other features you would expect from a terminal widget.

This is minimalistic and just contains the basic widget infrastructure. The GUI
consists of a menu and a GtkNotebook. To start with, the notebook has its tabs
hidden which provides a UI that looks very similar to SDL with the exception of
the menu bar.
The menu bar allows a user to toggle the visibility of the tabs. Cairo is used
for rendering.
I used gtk-vnc as a reference. gtk-vnc solves the same basic problems as QEMU
since it was originally written as a remote display for QEMU. So for the most
part, the approach to rendering and keyboard handling should be pretty solid for
GTK.
