Thanks to Tom Horsley who worked out how to do this for Windows XP guests (the technique is probably different for other versions of Windows).
Here is Tom’s script and here are more of his KVM tips.

I am Richard W.M. Jones, a computer programmer. I have strong opinions on how we write software, about Reason and the scientific method. Consequently I am an atheist [To nutcases: Please stop emailing me about this, I'm not interested in your views on it] By day I work for Red Hat on all things to do with virtualization. I am a "citizen of the world".
My motto is "often wrong". I don't mind being wrong (I'm often wrong), and I don't mind changing my mind.

A useful tip when managing multiple VMs is to set the base machine to use BGINFO to write details like hostname/IP address/versioninfo to the wallpaper, and regenerate the wallpaper at boot time.
It’s a good idea.
