Is there an easy way of running an X11 application on a KVM guest system the way that it is displayed on the host system?
I know I can ssh to a guest with X11 forwarding, but I am wondering if there is a native KVM/libvirt approach or just something simpler.

@G-Man absolutely nothing to do with that "duplicate". To the OP: you can forward ports withqemudirectly (with itsguestfwdoption), no need forssh. There may be more interesting ways to speed up things, but that needs a bit more testing and research. But I'm not using libvirt/virtmanager (I'm using qemu+kvm directly), so I'm not sure I can help you.
