Sorry, you're right. I should have said that it doesn't include the ability to attach/detach a text-only session. Running VNC over SSH to a remote host to get console access is not much fun.

Indeed we've not hooked up the text based serial console in QEMU to 'virsh console' yet. It
has long been on the TODO list, but never quite made it to the top... VNC is the most common
access method for graphical console, or just SSH into the guest for text mode.
