Have you tried virt-viewer (it's in recent Fedora) instead of vncviewer 
or the default virt-manager widget?

Also I've found that setting up libvirt to use a USB graphics tablet 
instead of the default PS/2 mouse improves mouse handling no end.

VNC should support screen sharing, if that's what you want.  Or do you 
mean two separate displays?  Perhaps rdesktop would suit you.

vncviewer -Shared.  Not sure if there is a virt-viewer option for this.
