That doesn't really fit with Spice atm. Unless we have a clear plan on how we
want to dispatch a connexion to different servers/session, it doesn't quite
work.

I believe VNC being implemented at a higher level was able to have
services/proxy to redirect a connexion to a particular session. But Spice isn't
at this level.
