Description of problem: Configure a VM to have 2 displays in RHEV-M. Have only 1 display enabled in virt-viewer and restart if necessary. When you start the VM through the UP, make sure that the VM console is going to start the VM in full-screen. Once the VM starts with the User login, do not login and exit full-screen from virt-viewer. Through the menu of virt-viewer, add the second display. This will result in the second display being launched in full-screen and completely black, since the user has not logged in and enabled the second display. I then have to exit the second display full-screen and then I can login to the primary display and then be able to use both displays. If I do login and then exit full-screen, when I add the second display, I will get the unusable full-screen of the second display. I then have to exit the second display full-screen and then I can see and use both VM displays.

So, what is the expected result in this scenario? Should the second screen be opened non-fullscreen? Also, I haven't been able to reproduce this yet, and I can't quite tell what's the difference between the pre-login and post-login scenarios you're describing.
If the main display is not in full-screen, adding additional display(s) should also be in windowed mode regardless of what the UP has for a setting.
OK, this particular issue has been fixed upstream already. https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2013-November/msg00028.html
