spice-vdagent not scaling the display |

Hi,
I have installed guix v1.1.0 as a guest OS using virt-manager. In the
misc. services section of the manual
http://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/guix.html#Miscellaneous-Services , it is
suggested to enable the spice-vdagent service. So, with help on irc chat
I added the two lines in my config.scm
(use-service modules ... spice)
(spice-vdagent-service) in the services list.
On rebooting with the newly configurated build, I'm able to use the
clipboard feature of spice, but the display does not scale on resizing
the window (I have checked the option - Autoresize VM with the window in
virt-manager).
Relevant Log:
localhost shepherd[1]: Service spice-vdagentd has been started.
localhost spice-vdagentd: GetSeats failed: The name
org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit was not provided by any .service files
localhost spice-vdagentd: (console-kit) seat: (null)
localhost spice-vdagentd: no session info, max 1 session agent allowed

We haven't heard back; I assume the problem was the one above, which was
worked around in the Guix Xfce demo VM via the x-resize tool.
Closing.
