Hi Christophe,
I installed Debian Testing and interestingly enough the higher
resolutions appear in the available resolution dropdown box, so we can
just pick the one we want and everything worked fine, even without the
spice agent installed and mucking about with dynamic resizing (which we
aren't interested in anyways).
Using Debian going forward may be the path of least resistance given
that Ubuntu doesn't seem too receptive to updating QXL anytime soon (I
have posted a bug report, but I noticed there were several outstanding
for over a year).
Thanks for your help.

Hi Christophe,
I fired up a Fedora 22 live CD and it does change the guest resolution when
I resize the window, but only larger, it doesn't resize it smaller for some
reason.
When comparing the package versions between Fedora and Ubuntu, the
spice-client/spice-vdagent versions match, but it appears that Fedora 22
uses xorg-x11-drv-qxl v0.1.3-2 and Ubuntu uses xserver-xorg-video-qxl
v0.1.1-0ubuntu6. So I'm guessing that may be the issue...
I will see if I can get Ubuntu upgraded to the latest version to confirm for
sure.
Yes would be nice (there's a 0.1.4 version as well), for now you could
try to make a local build of this new version, or get someone to build
that for you (potentially in a ppa). Debian has 0.1.4 in its unstable
repository, maybe their source package can be used for a rebuild on the
ubuntu version you need.
