Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [Bug] Fix for QEMU 0.8.1 Window Freeze
The discrepancy comes from the guest configuration file. With [sdl=0 and
vnc=1], vnc-fixes patch works fine. However, if DomU uses [sdl=1 and
vnc=0], I think vnc_update_client() will not be called.

That's not the root cause because the gui_timer is obselete, or at
least it should be.

gui_update only calls display_state.dpy_refresh but the vnc-fixes
patch also changes vnc_update_client to call dpy_refresh and that gets
called from the vs->timer.

Could you check if somehow the vnc_update_client doesn't get called for
you?
