In fact I have discovered the existence of these software just a few days ago 
thanks to comments from other people on the QEMU forum. But I've not yet 
tried any of them.

Apparently, when reading the home page of wmgl, "VMGL is available for 
X11-based guest OS's: Linux, FreeBSD and OpenSolaris"

As far as chromium is concerned, someone has posted "I've tried chromium with 
windows guest in qemu a few months ago. The network throughput is the 
limiting factor - one needs to write a custom transport driver." Don't know 
how limiting it is.
