In some setups, it is useful to have Spice input, clipboard, audio, etc., but not video, for instance when doing GPU passthrough -- one can interact inside the VM via Spice rather than USB passthrough, and use a plugged-in monitor or alternate VM viewers like Looking Glass[1] for video. It is already possible to specify a "none" video device by manually typing into the "Model" combobox and hitting "Apply". Yet, this is unintuitive. Despite being documented everywhere GPU passthrough is brought up, in the Looking Glass community we still get ~daily support requests from users who couldn't figure out how to disable Spice video. This patch makes "None" an explicit option in the video model combobox, in the hopes that this is more straightforward for users to get right.

Virtual Machine Manager
virt-manager is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines
via libvirt. Most usage is with QEMU/KVM
virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well
supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.
Several command line tools are also provided:
virt-install: Create new libvirt virtual machinesvirt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machinesvirt-xml: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML
For dependency info and installation instructions, see the INSTALL.md file. If you just want to quickly test the code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:
./virt-manager --debug ...
