I just did a fresh XP-Pro-SP3 install. I created the VM in
virt-manager, SPICE graphics, QXL graphics, added the SPICE
agent channel, then did the install. On first boot, I disabled
automatic updates, installed firefox as otherwise the spice-guest-tools
0.74 download tends to be corrupt, installed spice-guest-tools,
rebooted, and the agent is working as expected. I think it was even
working before the reboot.

Here it's 51.65.104.7400 after installing spice-guest-tools-0.74.exe on
that XP box.

Yes it is the first and only spice-guest-tools installation ever made on
that install.
