Thanks, Nicolas. I also have a qemu guest win7 image, and the mouse capture works as expected when I run it with virt-manager. No idea why winXP behaves differently, though. I notice that virt-manager runs qemu without the -enable-kvm flag, and win7 runs significantly slower because of that. Is there some way to convince virt-manager to use the -enable-kvm option?
