Description of problem:
When I enable 'Auto resize VM with window' option in my virtmanager, the VM is flickering and is basically unusable. At the same time, I can see a lot of messages in my journal:

```
Sep 20 08:17:34 unused-4-175.brq.redhat.com kernel: input: spice vdagent tablet as /devices/virtual/input/input13
Sep 20 08:17:34 unused-4-175.brq.redhat.com gnome-shell[1106]: Could not release device 13,69: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.login1.DeviceNotTaken: Device not taken

```

It seems that the screen is flickering with the same frequency as this messages appear in the log.

$ rpm -q spice-server 
spice-server-0.13.2-1.fc26.x86_64

$ rpm -q gnome-settings-daemon

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:

2.
3.

Actual results:
