OK, it looks like I got it. Taking the fixes from RH bugs 664190 and
664192 I built my own libvirt and qemu, which were in the end able to
start the domain via virsh - this solved the last issue with network.
This has allowed me to install the vga qxl driver - it seems to work
nicely so far.
I'm still a little confused about VDI port, vioserial and vdagent, and
what are they supposed to do.
Is there anything else I could test?

Thanks a lot for your input,
