Oh, MY. This was ugly - switched back to VNC display and cirrus video and removed Spice channels; that got things running on my guest again. Reinstalled the spice-guest-tools - that worked fine. Shut down the guest, switched video to QXL, and started the guest - black screen.
Used Remmina to RDP into the guest, logged in okay. Right-clicked Computer in the Win7 VM and hit the Device Manager, found "Standard VGA Adapter", clicked update driver and it found RedHat QXL driver and installed it pending reboot. Still great so far... But on reboot, got continual crashes in virt-manager on starting the guest, and exposed an apparent bug in apport-gtk as well - it couldn't actually submit error reports due to "incorrect padding". Never could manage to either submit a report or view details. finally force stopped the guest to stop the apport-gtk spam, then tried changing back to Spice graphics - THAT works. TL;DR if you fix the AppArmor profile, symlink /usr/bin/qemu-system- x86_64-spice /usr/bin/kvm, install python-spice-client-gtk, install spice-client-tools in your guests BEFORE EVER SWITCHING TO SPICE OR QXL, shutdown your guests, then YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST CHANGE AWAY FROM VNC/CIRRUS TO SPICE/QXL BEFORE STARTING THE GUESTS AGAIN... everything will work. Still no BIOS display though.
