In my host and all my other VM's, spice-vdagentd.service
is running far before ~/.bashrc and far before logging in.
I happens seconds after the kernel is selected
That is because some other desktops will do that. KDE doesn't

It doesn't though
In KDE, spice-vdagentd.socket is not hearing
spice-vdagent-sock to trugger spice-vdagentd.service.
"OR" the spice-vdagent is never happening

egreshko@f34k2 ~]$ uptime
14:31:23 up 0 min, 1 user, load average: 1.73, 0.47, 0.16
[egreshko@f34k2 ~]$ ps -eaf | grep spice

egreshko 1854 1828 0 14:31 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto spice

^C
[egreshko@f34k2 ~]$ ps -eaf | grep spice

Now the daemon is running, triggered by the ncat communication. And we se....
