            Bug ID: 102133
           Summary: spicy connection GUI does not correctly handle socket
                    connections
           Product: Spice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: spice-gtk
          Assignee: spice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: languitar at semipol.de

The windows that is shown by spicy when no connection arguments are specified
only handles network-based connections correctly. I am using a socket for
communication and this socket also appears in the "Recent connections" list
(even though it cannot be created using that GUI). However, it cannot be
launched after selecting it, as the GUI tries to enforce having a host and a
port. One can provide complete dummy values in the respective fields and
afterwards the connection can be established correctly, but at least this
validation step is nonsense. It would be nice if socket connections were
supported consistently here.
