I had a couple of issues when using spice that I can contribute to the
discussion:
* The Firefox plugin is not widely available for non-RH Linux distros.
* I did not find any documentation for creating an optimal Linux guest with
spice. (Windows documentation seems a bit more complete).
* The QXL device was showing up as a Standard VGA Controller in my Windows XP
guest.
* Without optimizations, spice video and cursor responsiveness seemed much
slower than vnc over a compressed SSH tunnel.
I warmly suggest involving the Spice team with the above issues, I'm
sure they'll be happy to help.
Some look like bugs, some configuration, some will indeed require some
development work.
I know specifically the Spice XPI is getting some attention - it had a
new version released yesterday.
