The client is on F15 with spice-xpi-2.7-1. Should this affect the icon in
the gui though? I thought spice would only come into play once I actually
click that button and start the console.

This only seems to be available as long as the VM is still running. Now
that it is in an unknown state that menu option is grayed out as is the
remove option. How can I clean this up?
