Since the combination of cinnamon, arch and kvm/qemu/libvirt/virt-manager/spice has stopped showing a mouse coursor (everywhere), I followed the procedure described in http://blog.vmsplice.net/2011/04/how-to-pass-qemu-command-line-options.html to add the -show-cursor command line.

Info:
/usr/share/libvirt/schemas/domain.rng is owned by libvirt 1.2.13-1
