Hi,
NOTE: Only after adding "vmport=off" to "-machine" in the qemu command the "mouse toggle" feature appeared in Spicy window.
After retesting the mouse mode toggle correctly, turns out that the patch DOES NOT change the behaviour before applying this patch,
The mouse is visible and the mouse is "stuck" in the middle of the screen, which is exactly the bug that Victor had described.

That's weird, I just tested here with spicy (upstream) on windows 7 with
spice-guest-tools installed and the mouse-mode toggle works fine. I can
see in the bottom changing from "mouse: client, agent: yes" to
"mouse: server, agent: yes".
There is a bug when you switch to serve-mode that when you click the
mouse goes to upper-left position but the guest grabs the mouse after
two or three clicks. AFAIR, someone was working on this.

So, with a spice-guest-tools-0.100 and spice-gtk v0.32 (or up) the
toggle does not work. It could be something in the qemu cmdline.
Marc-Andre said [0][1] that -machine ..vmport=off is necessary to make
this work.

Thanks for testing this!
