Public bug reported: I am running an Ubuntu 24.04 desktop in qemu mode on a Proxmox hypervisor, and have installed the Ubuntu released spice-vdagent 0.22.1-4build3.
When the display is resized away from 1280x800 (by resizing the screen with "Auto Resize" enabled in the Ubuntu packaged virt-viewer 11.0-3build2) I get the message in the systemd unit: `spice-vdagentd[1834]: invalid message size for VDAgentMonitorsConfig"` I found [this debian bug report](https://bugs-devel.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=993432) which seems to suggest this may be a known and understood issue, but it doesn't look like it went anywhere. I'm happy to provide any testing required - it's not mission critical (it's for a machine I use to support a family member) but it is annoying, and I would like to improve things where I can. Just point me at whatever you need! ``` jon@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -rd No LSB modules are available.

I am unable to change the resolution in the display options under the Ubuntu Settings application.
