---------------------+--------------------
 I reported to Packer[2], copy/paste'd here, how there are issues with
 QEMU+VNC. Reported by others to Packer[0] and Ubuntu[1].

 I am running into the same symptoms on macOS 10.12.6. Cannot repro on
 Ubuntu 17.10.

 I have qemu from MacPorts on macOS.

 {{{
     $ port installed | grep qemu
       qemu @2.11.0_0+cocoa+target_i386+target_x86_64+usb+vnc (active)

 Here's snippet of my config:
