I'm still in this exact same position one month later.  Now I'm on F19 
with virt preview repo, fully updated.

Same exact situation as above:
* second display displays entire desktop
* opening a third display moves the "entire desktop" from 2 to 3, and 
display 2 shows correct area (display 2 area)
* attempting to change resolution of any monitor permanently (until VM 
power cycle) crashes spice but not VM
* mouse cursor position is offset up and left from displayed position 
(-8-8 maybe?)

I also get this error from remote-viewer: "only support monitor config 
with primary surface 0, but given config surface 397"

Relevant qemu command line options (generated by libvirtd of course - 
note: I have tweaked the memory many different ways in an attempt to fix):

-spice 
port=5901,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing,plaintext-channel=main,plaintext-channel=inputs,seamless-migration=on 
-device 
qxl-vga,id=video0,ram_size=134217728,vram_size=134217728,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2

Any ideas?
