Jonathon Jongsma 895ef8029e Don't resize guest display on zoom change
When the zoom level is changed, the virt-viewer window gets resized. But we
don't want this to trigger a resize of the guest display. But occasionally
rounding errors cause the guest display to be reconfigured when zooming out.  To
fix this, we first check whether the current size is the preferred size.  If it
is, we don't send down a resize command to the guest.

In addition to preventing guest resizes in response to zooming, it also improves
the behavior when the guest display resolution is changed from within the guest.
Before this change, we'd have the following behavior:
    A. guest changes display to WxH
    B. client gets notified of change and resizes the window to WxH
    C. client responds to window resize by sending a new monitor config command to the guest

With this change, the extra step C will be avoided because we're already at the
preferred size.

  Virt Viewer
  ===========

Virt Viewer provides a graphical viewer for the guest OS
display. At this time is supports guest OS using the VNC
or SPICE protocols. Further protocols may be supported in
the future as user demand dicatates. The viewer can connect
directly to both local and remotely hosted guest OS, optionally
using SSL/TLS encryption.

Virt Viewer can be built with either GTK2 or GTK3, with the
default option currently being GTK2. The choice can be made
with:

   ./configure --with-gtk=3.0  (or =2.0)

Virt Viewer uses the GTK-VNC (>= 0.4.3) widget to provide a
display of the VNC protocol, which is available from

  http://gtk-vnc.sourceforge.net/

Virt Viewer uses the SPICE-GTK (>= 0.22) widget to provide a
display of the SPICE protocol, which is available from:

  http://spice-space.org/page/Spice-Gtk

Use of either SPICE-GTK or GTK-VNC can be disabled at time
of configure, with --without-gtk-vnc or --without-spice-gtk
respectively.

Virt Viewer uses libvirt to lookup information about the
guest OS display. This is available from

  http://libvirt.org/

Further information about the Virt Viewer application can be
found on the Virt Manager website:

  http://virt-manager.org/
