hello,
I revamp this thread.
I'm in a similar condition while in F14 and using updated virt-preview repo:

spice-client-0.7.2-1.fc14.x86_64
python-virtinst-0.500.5-1.fc14.noarch

I was able to install a win7 32bit vm with virtio (only disk).
I was able to start with spice graphics card and video (no qxl driver
installed yet) and win7 detected a sort ov vga and was able to let me
connect with spicec.
Then I successfully installed the qxl driver (from qxl-win32-0.6.1.zip
file, that was the latest one I found on spice.org) and had to restart
the system.
Now I'm not able to connect anymore. After "starting windows" one
minute screen the spicec program is disconnected and the vm is
shutoff.
I have a 2Gb ram laptop and I tried configuring the guest with 768Mb,
1024Mb, 1596Mb with the same result (in previous steps I used both
768Mb and 1024Mb successfully)

On spicec terminal I get:
Warning: Connection reset by peer (104)

If I manually try with a short command line (as root):

qemu-kvm /var/lib/libvirt/images/w7test.img -usbdevice tablet -soundhw
ac97 -vga qxl -spice port=5900,disable-ticketing -enable-kvm -m 1024

and run spicec, I get starting windows phase inside it,

and in terminal where qemu-kvm is run I get:

On spicec terminal I get, when the connection is closed:
Warning: Connection reset by peer (104)
