I started both VMs via Fedora's virt-manager, latest version from
virt-preview.  

Here's what's generated for the F16 VM in which cut n paste does work.

Here's what's generated for the WinXP VM in which cut n paste doesn't
work.

LC_ALL=C PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=spice /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M pc-0.14 -enable-kvm -m 2000

The above looks ok to me with respect to at least the Spice elements,
but I'm certainly not an expert.  

After seeing the above, can you comment on what might be the issue?
There have been some issues over 'pci multifunction' devices not working
correctly for Windows VMs, but I have no idea of that issue is related
to this.

Thanks in advance for any help!
