F29 host with Win10 guest. I want to use Spice to get the improved features (shared folders, cut-and-paste between host and guest, etc.), but when I install Spice Guest Tools under the Win10 guest I immediately lose the mouse and keyboard in the guest. 'Immediately' meaning that after installation it freezes before I can even dismiss the 'Install Done' pop-up.

As I understand the Spice docs, there is supposed to be a vdagent running in the host, but there isn't. Even when I try to run vdagent from a terminal it doesn't appear to do anything. I can run vdagentd (using 'sudo') but that makes no difference.

Any thoughts? I can post my guest XML file if it's of interest.
