QEMU/virt-viewer multimonitor mouse misbehavior
I've got a libvirt instance running on my Debian server to which I connect with SSH. I was able to follow a handful of useful guides on setting up Windows 7 as the guest OS. I even got sound working well. I then sought to enable multiple displays, and succeeded at that once I switched from using virt-manager's viewer to virt-viewer. All appears well!
However, when I mouse anywhere on the second display, the gesture is rendered on the primary display. That isn't to say the pointer won't appear over the second display - it will. However, if I draw a familiar blue box by clicking and dragging on the desktop of the second display, the box itself is drawn on the primary display.
Given that I am unable to actually click on the second display, it defeats the purpose pretty handily. Any suggestions for troubleshooting?
