I don't know what display you guys are expecting to see, but when I run
qemu, the VM opens in a plain old window that has a title bar and menu
bar, just like it always has. The menu items are Machine and View.

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -vga std -cdrom example.iso

I did run into a situation in ascii where qemu required vnc, and I don't
recall what happened to change that back to the old behavior. Maybe
installing qemu-system-gui is what fixed it.
