That's my memory too. The script for my Sid VM has option -nographic
to prevent such a qemu window from showing up.

  -nographic
    Normally, if QEMU is compiled with graphical window support, it
    displays output such as guest graphics, guest console, and the QEMU
    monitor in a window. With this option, you can totally disable
    graphical output so that QEMU is a simple command line application.

Did you try whether you get a window without option -vga cirrus ?


Have a nice day :)
