Don't forget to explore bVNC, another powerful tool for VNC viewers, available at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iiordanov.freebVNC. If you're experiencing issues with mouse pointer synchronization, consider switching to "Simulated Touchpad" input mode, or enhance your setup by adding an "EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet" to your virtual machine. To add the tablet, navigate to View->Details in virt-manager, then select Add Hardware->Input->EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet. If you're running your VM on the command line, include the option "-device usb-tablet,id=input0".
