Bug Description
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
A minor (but irritating) mismatch in default sizes when running qemu using ncurses rather than SDL.
gnome-terminal defaults to a 80x24 console / window size, whereas starting up `qemu -curses` creates a 80x25 (640x480) console. Thus the bottom row is not visible unless you resize your gnome-terminal window. Unsure if this counts as a gnome-terminal or qemu-kvm bug, but it is a usability mismatch.
qemu-kvm:
Installed: 0.11.0-0ubuntu6

Installed: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1
