Yeap, discovered that this weekend. Also updated to 3.4.3 and now have a 
default entry for this in the 00-defaults.properties. Now working as expected, 
thanks!

I see there are some checks for these values at VM start, my one win8x64 vm 
with a SPICE console wouldn’t start because of the new default entry. Seems odd 
that it only partially applies at VM start, I’d expect it to be all or nothing 
at that state (Ie, if it only changes at device creation, why does it check at 
other times as well?). Not a huge deal though.
