Are you running an agent in the guest? does this happen when not running
an agent in the guest?
Agent is running in the guest. These two Issues do not happen when Agent is not running in the guest.

What does this mean? what's disconnected state? no client connected? so
you connect from a linux client to a windows guest and you get a black
screen? 
It means Spice client is not connected to guest. 
we don't see this issue if we specify "./spicec -h <ip addr> -p 5924"
we see it only when we specify "./spicec -h <ip addr> -p 5924 --full-screen=auto-conf"

if that is the case can you give more details on the guest and

client, version of client, version of driver in guest, agent existance
and if so version.
Guest:
        Windows 7 32/64 bit 
         QXL driver: built the code taken from spice git repository (v1.4.1.1)
         VDAgent: built the code taken from spice git repository(v1.1.0.1009)
Client:
     Spice Client: v0.10.0
     Client machine: Fedora14 Live image loaded into RAM.

I don't understand the last part - you only get those two issues when
running a client from a fedora 14 live image? or is fedora14 related to the guest, in which case it contradicts the guest being windows?
Yes. These two issues happen when Spice client running from Fedora 14 Live image connecting to Windows 7 guest.
Steps to reproduce:
1.)Fedora14 Live image is loaded into RAM thru "live_ram" option for booting. we may not see these issues if we don't load into RAM.
2.)Spice session is launched with Full-Screen+Auto-config only.
   ./spicec -h <ip addr> -p 5924 --full-screen=auto-conf         (we see issues)
   ./spicec -h <ip addr> -p 5924                                             (we don't see issues)
