[ovirt-users] Spice in 4.0

[Melissa Mesler]

Yes, this is a workaround for us after upgrading to 4.0. I know it's
going away in 4.1 but this buys us some time.

So the first option didn't work b/c like yous aid, it wasn't there. So
we did the second step and it still didn't seem to work. We even tried
restarting ovirt but that didn't help either. Any other ideas?
