I replaced the rpms on the Fedora host. Was I supposed to do anything with the Windows drivers? The patched seemed only for qemu. I'll give these a try and see if it changes anything. I should mentioned that, before Windows presented its "Press Ctl Alt Del to login" screen, the color was brilliant for the Windows logo. It changed when it got to the login screen.

The only difference that should bother anything is the creation and signing of <a href="http://qxl.cat" target="_blank">qxl.cat</a>, signing of qxl.sys and signing of qxldd.dll.
