​Just a follow up for anybody interested in using qemu-kvm-spice like I mentioned.
Now it appears I can get good graphics via 2 methods: 1. Somewhat standard: a. start up the host in graphics mode. b. start spicy or virt-viewer or virt-manager's viewer c. start the guest OS if not already done so, log in, and then issue xinit at the guest login d. You should get a new window on the host that has the Xserver for the guest and an xterm there. e. Issue gnome-shell or gnome-terminal. Things to be aware of: a. If you shrink the host window that has the guest X, fonts will shrink. It is not friendly like VirtualBox. b. The professional thing would be to issue "systemctl start gdm" rather than directly starting gnome-shell. But there are constant bugs being fixed and you either get lucky or you become a super expert on many things. Or give up, like I did. c. I am told that you should be able to copy/paste between guest and host. I have a strong feeling that this won't work easily unless you are lucky and the preceding problem (b) has not happened to you. My original goal was to conserve disk space. (I got stuck with 32bit Windows Vista taking up most of the tiny disk, so I had little space to work with.) It is possible that by using the somewhat nonstandard method in my first note, you can eliminate the guest Xserver, and that may be about 500 MB. I haven't tested this in terms of removing packages and dependencies, etc. Conclusion is that usually VirtualBox is the way to go. Other conclusion: too bad that CentOS has the slow gcc-4. Burt
