Description

So, if I want to start e.g. a fresh copy of Firefox in a DispVM, I could just do:

qvm-run -a --dispvm firefox

and it will take care of creating the DispVM and starting Firefox there.

This should be trivial to implement, yet _very_ useful.

Implemented, but on AppVM side. There is a qvm-run command in AppVM now, capable of running commands on other VMs.
So you can execute (in vm)
qvm-run other-vm firefox # requires confirmation
qvm-run --dispvm ooffice # instant
