You can do that.
But I still think that setting to qxl/spice should work In first round without
setting to cirrus/vnc first, since the "

Graphics protocol" is currently set to "None
"

and not "spice" AFAIR (as displayed in general sub tab).

If it is set to "None", then after the settings in (2) you will be notified
with a pop-up displaying the following:
"Changes that require Virtual Machine restart: graphicsProtocol"

and after a restart both devices should be added.
