do I understand correctly that you wish to log out a user at Client
machine (the one where actual user physically sits at) when an app in
the guest machine closes? If so, I'm afraid that oVirt won't have
anything like it integrated in foreseeable future so you'll have to come
up with something yourself

IMO the other way is easier: 
1) run remote-viewer through a wrapper that will log off the user if
told to do so. Wrapper can get the guest IP address from API
(GET /api/vms/VM_UUID -> <vm><guest_info><ips><ip address="GUEST_IP">)
2) create a service in a guest that will emit the signal to log off to
the connected client when the app in question exits.

maybe you could use a new "port" channel of spice but IIRC that would
require modification of a client...
