I use "spicevmc" with no problem now.

I use video "qxl" with no problem.

I've done 1 trick below.
－ After installing "qemu-kvm-spice" package,
  I remake guestVMs that made before "qemu-kvm-spice" installed.
  (I didn't install again.
   I deleted guestVMs on virt-manager with keeping VM's storage files left.
   And I made configuration of guestVMs with VM's storage files left.)

After this trick,I recongnized
the emulator name of guest VM,"/usr/bin/kvm"
has changed to "/usr/bin/kvm-spice".
(We can see an emulator name in Hypervisor details of guestVM's overview.)

remark:
・With "spicevmc",GuestVMs work well with video cirrus or qxl.
 With others,GuestVMs diplay black screen.
・I can't close guestVM's window using "spicevmc" after VM's shutdown.
 "X"button doesn't let the window close.
 (I find the virt-manager's process ant kill it.)
