This is probably related to the new GEM code. But on 2.6.29-rc2 if I start up the virtual
machine manager then run a guest, the display gets screwed up.

virt-machine-manager
  click local-host (System)
  Run one of the existing VM's
 
The virtual console window then cause a dialog about allowing remote access to display;
(this never happened with earlier kernels), regression #1

Then if I allow it multiple copies of the window start cloning and general chaos ensues.

You'll have to provide more useful information than 'screwed up' and
'general choas' if we're to properly dianose this. A screenshot of what
is wrong if there's a graphics rendering problem would be a start.

Also, what GTK-VNC version do you have ?  Make sure it is at least
0.3.8, so that it is using Cairo for rendering, and not old buggy
OpenGL based GtkGLExt.

The problem is only in the net-next tree (not mainline 2.6.29-rcX).
Bisected down to this commit is the problem:

Any chance to get a bit more information about what this console does?
Like how it binds or get a strace?
Will you be able to run a debug patch which will dump lots of info into
the dmesg and slow things down a bit?
