well i forgot to mention that this will only work for new vms, or if you edit the vm and switch the display type (to spice and after that again to vnc)
because this value is saved in the db the moment the display device is created (add vm or update of display type)

please pay attention that win8,win8x64,win2012x64 override this value also
