Hi,
You can add the resolution to the struct qxl_modes in qxl.c under 
qemu/hw. But, sometimes, tough a resolution is supported, Windows menu 
does not display it. If for this resolution this will be the case, use 
the spice client option --full-screen=auto-conf ==> this will force the 
client resolution on the guest (after you add it to the supported ones). 
Then, it will also appear on the windows menu.

We are currently considering the option of Spice automatically 
supporting at least all the resolutions the client support.

Yonit.
