There are libvirt patches for spice support but they aren't upstream yet
AFAICT, as a result you can't get QXL/Spice by editting libvirt XML or
via virt-manager in Fedora.

When virt-manager supports QXL, it should just appear as a video model
option in VM Details->Video . The main blocker though is a graphical
spice widget which we can integrate into virt-manager proper, which
doesn't exist yet.
