Hi Mike,

Looking at your vdagent.log, it seems like it does not receive agent 
messages sent by the client, such as VD_AGENT_ANNOUNCE_CAPABILITIES, 
defining whether c&p is supported by the client. The default (if not 
receiving the message or the c&p bit is off) is disabling c&p.

Please send me also the client log ~/.spicec/spicec.log.

Before the following, remove the "-usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0" 
from qemu line and run it again with the xp guest. There is no need for 
it when using the agent.

Now:
Is the mouse responsive inside the spice window?
Is the desktop cursor effective when you just move the cursor over the 
window ("client mode"),
or you need to click inside the window in order to use it (so the cursor 
is *captured* within it until released, "server mode")?
When you stop the service, does it change the behavior of the mouse 
(client/server mode)?

It will be nice if you join #spice at irc.gimp.net/6667, so we can debug 
it together faster.
I'll send you tomorrow a private debug build if needed.

Regards,
Arnon
