The solution was to add a channel for spice to the libvirt xml
(there are many links which explain how to do this in the qemu
invocation directly):

     <channel type='spicevmc'>
       <target type='virtio' name='com.redhat.spice.0'/>
       <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='2'/>
     </channel>

Now both copy+paste and adapting the resolution to the client window
size works :-)

Best Regards,
Felix
