This was after a guest update, or a host update?

It might be worth grabbing the previous set of qemu 2.0 .debs from the
ppa by hand, installing them with dpkg -i, and seeing if that fixes it.
If not, then it's safe to assume unity has changed something.

Which -vga are you using?

I was starting quite a few trusty vms from cdrom today, but all from a
week-old iso image.
