Hi Strahil -
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately it is not helpful. The spice agent is
already installed on the guest, and the spice channel is already configured.
[bgee at practice21a ~]$ rpm -qa | grep spice
spice-vdagent-0.20.0-3.fc33.x86_64
A question occurs to me ... The working guest also has both the spice-vdagent
package and the spice channel. Why does it work and the other guest does not?

Is there more that needs to be added? This is the only qemu package installed
on both the Fedora machine that does not resize and the CentOS7 machine that
will resize. The versions are way different between the two guests.
