Description of problem:
When starting Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-25_Alpha-2.iso in gnome-boxes, the vm-screen starts flickering in an interval of approx 1 second and the Keyboard-input to the VM doesn't work properly

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Gnome-Boxes from Gnome-Terminal

FWIW, in my case keyboard and mouse input works but only if you are really quick at timing... to get the installer to accept my clicks on buttons and such I had to mash my mouse button repeatedly super quickly. Once installed, I applied all available package updates but the problem persists.

Just tested it with a fresh Installation of Fedora 24 Workstation x86_64 (+ updates)
The problem persists.
