upgraded from version 2.0, If I try t start an existing machine, I do get 

Error connecting to graphical console:
USB redirection support not compiled in


If that flag is mandatory, why is it not activated by default?

"Mandatory" implies nobody could do without it, which is obviously untrue: not everyone needs USB redirection support.

Grmpf - PEBKAC - not my day.

spice-gtk lacks the usbredir USE flag during re-compiling and virt-manager displays that spicy message in its window ...

Again - sry.
