The problems is that, from a web gui point of view, the settings in 2. are
already in place... ;-) but not honored.. is because of this that I asked
about database manipulation...
I could instead change the console parameters and set them to cirrus/vnc
and see if they work after shutdown and restart of engine VM and in a
second time change again to qxl/spice and see if they are honored then...

What do you think?
