[ovirt-users] Using a free-standing Spice viewer

[John Gardeniers]

Thanks for the info Dan. If that's what it takes I'll need to use a 
different method. The one you describe is not only very messy but 
extremely breakable and error prone (e.g. if the VM migrates to another 
host).

regards,
John
