... that was the right trail: I was using Windows XP SP1 (the only Windows I have readily available). After I upgraded the Windows guest to SP3, it works fine with the QXL driver. Thanks a Lot!

(There is still one little thing from the user documentation that is not working - the vdservice agent won't start - also without any indication what is wrong - is this something I should worry about?)
