RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

filed against spice-gtk because this doesn't occur with spicec
Comment 1 David Blechter 2012-07-27 13:36:48 UTC 
vdagent less use case has low priority
Comment 3 Christophe Fergeau 2012-09-18 14:07:41 UTC 
I cannot reproduce this in f17 (spice-gtk-0.12-4.fc17/virt-viewer-0.5.3-1.fc17) nor with git master.

Reproduced easily according to instructions. Just did exactly what it says:

1. have and winxp guest, stop the vdagent if running
2. in display properties, switch the colour depth to 16
3. connect to the guest with spice-gtk-based client

With RHEL client:
$ rpm -qa | egrep "spice-gtk|virt-viewer"
spice-gtk-python-0.14-2.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-0.14-2.el6.x86_64
virt-viewer-0.5.2-11.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-tools-0.14-2.el6.x86_64

and WINXP as guest (with latest unsigned qxl even)
Comment 5 Christophe Fergeau 2012-10-11 15:12:37 UTC 
This bug only happens when the qxl driver is used, not when the cirrus driver is used, that's why I could not reproduce initially.
Comment 6 David Blechter 2012-10-15 18:02:28 UTC 
Out of time for 6.4, not a blocker, moving to 6.5
