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

[Dan Yasny]

Not really messy when scripted, each step is a small API command after all.
This is what oVirt does when you connect, getting the data and populating
the .vv file for you. So if the VM migrates in the instant it takes to get
the info, the connection will fail, so you simply rerun the connect script.
