[libvirt] Can't scale XP on remote

Just starting out with an XP guest on Fedora 11 kvm. I'm using 
virt-manager to connect from a laptop.

Server:
kernel-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64
qemu-*-0.10.50-6.kvm86.fc11.x86_64
libvirt-0.6.4-2.fc11.x86_64

On the laptop:
virt-manager-0.7.0-5.fc11.i586
libvirt-0.6.2-11.fc11.i586

The console comes, and XP runs fine. But, screen is scaled too large 
vertically for my laptop screen which is 1280x800.  Only with fullscreen 
can I see the bottom menu bar. I would have assumed I could change the 
size of the screen (even if not the aspect ratio), but I can't.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this just The Way Things Are?
