Currently it logs to syslog. But I am going to submit a patch to not log at all by default

So spice-xpi-client will look like:

if [ x"$SPICE_XPI_CLIENT_LOG" != x ] ; then
    exec 2>&1
    exec >> "$SPICE_XPI_CLIENT_LOG"
fi

echo "starting remote-viewer --spice-controller $@..." 
env | grep -i spice
exec remote-viewer --spice-controller "$@"
echo "remote-viewer execution failed"

Ie, if SPICE_XPI_CLIENT_LOG is defined, we log there.

If people want to log to ~/.spicec/whatever.log, they can setup their enviroment to do so. I would still continue to discourage this practice, and rely on default desktop logging behaviour, which is (sadly atm) ~/.xsession-errors.
