<<COMMENTS

on guest to allow filesystem mounting etc:

    sudo apt install qemu-guest-agent spice-vdagent
    sudo  mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio mymount /home/simon/mymount

to fix auto-resizing of the window, run this - not needed with gnome, but is with mate etc:

    xrandr --output Virtual-1 --auto
