Ok, I was able to install and run the spice plugin on my system with
WIndows 7 (64bit) and Internet Explorer 9
It seems from first tests that it works quite well (tested only with
Windows XP VM right now)

I took the time to change two small things on the wiki page:

- WEB_INF --> WEB-INF
- Changed the note regarding spice servlet this way:
NOTE the file web.xml is part of ovirt-engine-backend rpm;  in oVirt
3.2 the <servlet> definition for SpiceX.cab is already in place

Also, inside the section regarding portals I noticed that the file
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/root.war/index.html

is different from what written into the wiki... I didn't change it
yet, in case you want to retain some sort of 3.1 compatibility...
In case let me know and I'll update that too.

Some notes regarding installation

- added link to spice page in portals main page
- click on it
- click on button "install spice"
- accept activeX install

apparently at this point nothing happened.. I waited a couple of
minutes.. no virtviewer entry in allprograms section
Then I tried to open a spice console and again I got the message
regarding the plugin, accept and then got the install window
So now I can click again on spice console button of the vm and spice
console fires up...

I'm going to try with another windows 7 (32bit) system and document better...

Note: I also got the "  Error: A Request to the Server failed with the
following Status Code: 400" window; probably due to the first spice
console access that implied true installation of plugin...
