Thank you! glad to be able to help ;)
As Itamar mentioned if you are running the spice client inside a VM (dunno if this is case) you will need the guest paravirtual driver and/or services for mouse handling. I have observed exactly this behavior before when running the spice client in a VM when the guest tools/drivers for mouse handling are not present (In my case most of the time VirtualBox).
Very amusing "bug":) But cripples SPICE´s usage.
I have tested this from 5 different physical machines running Win7/IE, and this behavior shows itself only on machines with more than one monitor, or a laptop with another monitor attached .e.g. These guest tools you both mention, would these be "http://spice-space.org/download/binaries/spice-guest-tools-0.1.exe"? And can you install them in a physical machine as well?
cc-ing spice-devel to see if they have insights on your issue

This is awesome work, thank you so much for this! For our users and administrators, having a button you just click to get a console is sooo much easier than having to copy-paste a bunch of cryptic addresses and passwords, and having to use the infamous, dangerous hacker tool VNC:)
I followed the wiki instructions and a vital piece missing is to restart ovirt-engine before trying to install the spice-client from the install portal. I went back and read through the email you first posted and the restart was mentioned there so I did and then it worked! Wohoo! So you might want to add that point to the wiki page as well, to avoid future confusion.
But...when I have virt-viewer(-0.5.3) installed, log in to webadmin and click for console on a guest, the console shows up. But when I try to go into the console window with the mouse cursor, the cursor jumps off to one of the edges of my *monitor*, and not into the console window- as
you would expect. Maybe virt-viewer mistakenly "thinks" that the edges of it´s window really are the edges of the whole monitor? Am I holding it wrong?
do you have spice guest side drivers for local mouse handling?

I have seen this question asked many times on this list and the spice-devel list. Now having figured out how to make it work I will provide the answer to the rest of the community.
*NOTE* this only applies to Windows/Internet Explorer users. There exists no other option other than the html5 spice console (still beta/in development) for windows users ATM. This will also only work with Internet Explorer.
Basic Steps: - Install an oVirt server. - Add at least one node - Setup storage/iso/export domains
Advanced steps - Start by downloading: http://elmarco.fedorapeople.__org/spice.cab <http://elmarco.fedorapeople.org/spice.cab> - Create a directory for it oVirt looks by default in /usr/share/spice - Rename spice.cab to SpiceX.cab and copy it into /usr/share/spice - Now edit
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/__engine.ear/root.war/WEB-INF and add the following:
<!-- SpiceX.cab --> <servlet>
<servlet-name>SpiceX.cab</__servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.ovirt.__engine.core.FileServlet</__servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>type</param-name>
<param-value>application/__octet-stream</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>file</param-name>
<param-value>/usr/share/spice/__SpiceX.cab</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> <servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>SpiceX.cab</__servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/spice/SpiceX.__cab</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
- Next create an html file within
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/__engine.ear/root.war - In the example below an html file called "spice.html" - Copy/Paste the below into spice.html:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>SPICE Plugin Installer</title>
<script type="text/javascript"> function installSpice() { try {
document.getElementById('__SpiceX').innerHTML = '<OBJECT id="SpiceX" codebase="/spice/SpiceX.cab"
classid="clsid:ACD6D89C-938D-__49B4-8E81-DDBD13F4B48A" width="0" height="0"></OBJECT>'; } catch (ex) { alert("Epic Fail!: " + ex.Description); } } </script>
</head> <body> <p> <p><b id='SpiceX'>Spice ActiveX Plugin</b> </p> <button onclick='installSpice()'>__Install Spice Plugin</button> </p> </body> </html>
- Save the file - You will now need to restart the ovirt-engine service EG: systemctl restart ovirt-engine.service OR service ovirt-engine restart - The installer page will now be available at http://<url to ovirt server>/spice.html EX: http://ovirt.azeroth.net/__spice.html <http://ovirt.azeroth.net/spice.html> - Navigate to that page and click the install button - IE will prompt you to deploy/install the SpiceX cabinet file - It may gripe about an unsigned or untrusted source, acknowledge this an proceed anyways - If the install succeeds the text "Spice ActiveX Plugin" on the page will change to blank (it's actually the plugin with null values) - The console button in the user and webadmin portals will now launch the new virt-viwer spice based console!
Happy Spice Consoling to your VM's from Windows!
*NOTE* To uninstall the plugin: - The below removes the add-on from IE (EG: removes knowledge of "application/x-spice") - pop a command terminal and type: On Windows XP: regsvr32 /u "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\virt-viewer\bin\SpiceX.__dll" On Windows 7 regsvr32 /u C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local
Settings\AppData\virt-viewer\__bin\SpiceX.dll" - Next we need to remove the rest of virt-viewer - Go to add/remove programs and uninstall virt-viewer, this removes the rest of virt-viewer from the system
