Hi Mark,
  Sorry - I've just confirmed this problem still exists on my Quantal host; if I use SDL I get the error:

Could not initialize SDL(No available video device) - exiting

in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/fiddle3.log

If I do the xhost's in #19 then it works; so sorry - still broken.

(Unlike when I reported this originally on Maverick, I'm now running Kubuntu, although still with lightdm)

so, not quite sure how .Xauthority works any more, but it's still broken.
