It doesn't open an X window. It complains about:

Now I seem to have SDL installed. However, searching through the kvm

through the SDL documentation...
*sigh*

Run xterm without qemu-kvm and get it to work.  First.

Next qemu-kvm will work too.

/mjt

I can sympathize with your frustration.  :)

xterm runs fine. I can type in xterm from konsole and it launches as expected when I run it as a normal user. When I run it as root however, I get: Warning: This program is an suid-root program or is being run by the root user.
The full text of the error or warning message cannot be safely formatted
in this environment. You may get a more descriptive message by running the
program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable.
xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: %s

Conversely, when I run kvm as a normal user (who is in the kvm group), I got an access denied error. It seems that the new image was only rw for root. I fixed this with chown libvirt-qemu:kvm. This allowed me to continue the setup. However it seemed to be hanging in the same spot so I've created a new image and restarted the process.

It's getting further this time...
