Jonathon Jongsma 8fa5e004ec Shift top-left display to origin
When using a custom fullscreen display configuration, it's possible to
specify that e.g. a single screen should be fullscreen on client
monitor #4. Since we send down absolute positions and disable alignment
when all windows are in fullscreen, we can send configurations with a
very large offset to the top-left corner. This could result in the guest
trying to create a screen that was much larger than necessary. For
example when sending a configuration of 1280x1024+4240+0, the guest
would need to allocate a screen of size 5520x1024, which might fail if
video memory was too low. To avoid this issue, we shift all displays
so that the minimum X coordinate for all screens is at x=0, and the
minimum y coordinate is at y=0.

  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/
