That was a typo. I meant to say that a guest VNC (i.e. what I'm using) 
should allow you to specify the size and other parameters of the screen 
it is simulating, while the host VNC (i.e. provided by Qemu, which is 
what you're using) is generally defined by the hardware being emulated 
and by its associated firmware (PC BIOS, Sun OBP etc.).

I typically find myself starting the Qemu and UML sessions I've 
described from an X session on the host, so that if they want to display 
their console in an xterm they can do so. I could probably tweak the 
parameters to prevent that, in general if I need a shell session I far 
prefer direct SSH since that gives me full control over presentation and 
minimises the performance hit.

If I understand things correctly "User Mode Emulation" (which I've not 
played with) allows you to run e.g. an ARM Linux program on a PC Linux 
host, while "Full System Emulation" allows you to emulate an entire 
computer.
