i found out:
the windows 7 prof vm was missing the virtio-serial drivers.
So this is the reason why guest agent did not started up, and why
libvirt (correctly) reported it's not running.
On trying to install them windows "always" crashes.
tried: virtio-win-0.1.109-2/ virtio-win-0.1.105-1/
virtio-win-0.1.102/ virtio-win-0.1.96/
windows is always crashing.
Interesting.
how do install this drivers?
I'd suggest asking on qemu-devel list, since they are much more closer
to qemu-ga than libvirt.
Have you tried windows drivers packaged by Fedora?
