Proposing as F17 Beta blocker, since it makes KDE desktop unusable. I can't reproduce it as my virt-manager does not want to grab mouse - any hint here? I can't reproduce with qxl/spice, works fine. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers reproduced with qxl/vnc, which is never a default config. Updating topic with info provided by bcl. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers > reproduced with qxl/vnc, which is never a default config.
We can't assume that in general - since qxl provides basic VGA capabilities when used without SPICE, it is perfectly reasonable to use QXL + VNC. So while virt-manager doesn't do this by default, it is acceptable for apps to enable QXL by default.
Mentioned by adamw in IRC, upstream patch here: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/9198/ Changing to QEMU on basis of Cole's URL dberrange: as far as blocker status goes, we mostly consider fedora's 'supported vm stack', which is taken to be virt-manager / libvirt / qemu / kvm. Discussed at 2012-04-05 go/no-go meeting - http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2012-04-05/gono-go_continuation_f17_beta_rc3_part_two_or_three.2012-04-05-15.00.html . We agreed that as the qxl/vnc combination has never been default in the supported stack (see above), it's easy to 'work around' this bug by switching to cirrus/vnc or qxl/spice, and the bug is not in the guest but the host (and so we don't gain much by fixing it in the release images) this bug is rejected as a blocker. It is not accepted as NTH, for the reason that fixing it in the images doesn't actually change much. Anyone running a host can be expected to have the latest updates on the host. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers qemu-1.0-15.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/qemu-1.0-15.fc17 Package qemu-1.0-15.fc17: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 17 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.

Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-6290/qemu-1.0-15.fc17 then log in and leave karma (feedback). qemu-1.0-17.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/qemu-1.0-17.fc17 Seems to be fixed, can't reproduced it anymore (yum update with updates-testing on, F17 host). qemu-1.0-17.fc17 has been pushed to the Fedora 17 stable repository.
