That's weird, I just tested here with spicy (upstream) on windows 7 with
spice-guest-tools installed and the mouse-mode toggle works fine. I can
see in the bottom changing from "mouse: client, agent: yes" to
"mouse: server, agent: yes".

There is a bug when you switch to serve-mode that when you click the
mouse goes to upper-left position but the guest grabs the mouse after
two or three clicks. AFAIR, someone was working on this.

So, with a spice-guest-tools-0.100 and spice-gtk v0.32 (or up) the
toggle does not work. It could be something in the qemu cmdline.
Marc-Andre said [0][1] that -machine ..vmport=off is necessary to make
this work.

Thanks for testing this!
