Title:
  journal reports "invalid message size for VDAgentMonitorsConfig" in
  spice-vdagentd when resizing the screen

Status in spice-vdagent package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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!

  ```

  I would expect that when resizing the screen above 1280x800, or under
  1280x800, it would resize to that resolution, but instead I get a
  scaled window at a maximum of 1280x800 and a reported error in the
  journal. I am unable to change the resolution in the display options
  under the Ubuntu Settings application.
