vnc client already installed?  I'm positive I've got a vnc client for my
current distro and pretty sure I don't have a spice client installed.

(ff3k) ~ % cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 11.04 \n \l

(ff3k) ~ % apt-cache search spice
xserver-xorg-video-qxl - X.Org X server -- QXL display driver
chiark-scripts - chiark system administration scripts
gnucap - GNU Circuit Analysis package
gspiceui - A graphical user interface for gnucap and ngspice
gwave - a waveform viewer eg for spice simulators
oregano - tool for schematical capture of electronic circuits
easyspice - A graphical frontend to the Spice simulator
ngspice - A Spice circuit simulator
ngspice-doc - Documentation for the ngspice circuit simulator
tclspice - NGspice library for Tcl
tclspice-dev - NGspice library for Tcl

is one of those the spice client? (QXL looks like the xserver backend
support).
