[Xen-devel] [Bug] Fix for QEMU 0.8.1 Window Freeze

["Huang2, Wei" <Wei.Huang2@xxxxxxx>]

We had trouble with the latest QEMU 0.8.1 tree
(http://xenbits.xensource.com/chris/xs-tools-ioemu.pq.hg). Basically,
QEMU window appeared but freezed immediately. This happened to both
32-bit and 64-bit hypervisors. 

The root cause of this problem is in vnc-fixes patch. It removes
initialization of gui_timer (see below), which actually is used by
gui_update() in vl.c. Retaining these two statements will fix the
problem and QEMU can perform normally.
