Description Marc-Andre Lureau 2012-06-08 21:30:42 UTC 
With recent QXL driver, the guest get resized to arbitrary resolution,
which ends up in useless and very low resolution when switching to
properties view. Stop resizing the display when switching to properties.

It's not a QXL bug, it's actually a useful feature. But when resizing the spice-gtk widget, we resize the guest. That's why I disabled resize-guest temporarily when switching to properties view.

Can't test it due to libvirt issues I'm facing but looks good so push if you have tested it.
