Has anyone had any experience/ success installing with QWT on Qubes 4.0?

[get]

Following a clean install Win7 + QWT system startup in recovery (repair) mode.
Qubes Private Image is empty (disk D).

In general the problems are similar with thread
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/3585

qvm-sync-appmenus not work
applications on dom0 tab are empty for win hvm

This package works better qubes-windows-tools-3.2.2-3.x86_64.rpm.

Windows Build 7601
Qubes-Windows-Tools-4.0.1.3.iso

People are silent and it's not at all clear whether it works or not on Qubes 4.0

I've had some mixed success. 


Here is what worked:

Creating a standalone win7 64bit, using the 3.2 QWT

* With that it ran full screen, no seamless mode

Creating a template based win7 failed.

* I could not launch an AppVM

Creating a win10 standalone (for me) failed

* Would not launch

Incidentally restoring a win7 64 bit from Qubes 3.2 to Qubes 4 (for me
failed)

* This was surprising because I thought I read others have done this

Adding QWT release 4 worked

* Once QWT 4 was added, the standalone win7 64bit (created with QWT
3.2) works in seamless mode
* Caveat: you need to start the VM like this: echo SEAMLESS | qvm-run
-p --service NameOfWindows7VM qubes.SetGuiMode
* (The echo SEAMLESS I read in another post that I cant find at the
moment)

Win7 menus (for me) are now working

* I assume it was due to adding QWT 4, but running this fixed them:
qvm-sync-appmenus NameOfWindows7VM


So for a standalone windows 7, works in seamless if launched as:
echo SEAMLESS | qvm-run -p --service NameOfWindows7VM qubes.SetGuiMode

Works as full screen if:
echo FULLSCREEN | qvm-run -p --service NameOfWindows7VM qubes.SetGuiMode

This worked for me. I might have had to set qvm-prefs kernel to '' and
virt_mode to hvm, but don't remember anything else unusual.
