  Hi,

Interesting idea.  That approach makes sense too.

I think we should set the placeholder flag in
qemu_create_message_surface() because every surface created with that
function is some kind if placeholder.

Also when replacing an existing surface we should make the placeholder
the same size, to avoid pointless ui window resizes.

We should check whenever this is the primary or a secondary window here
and only destroy secondary windows.  qemu hiding all windows but
continuing to run has great potential for user confusion ...

> +    if (is_placeholder(new_surface)) {

Same here.

take care,
  Gerd
