I think the issue narrow down to Izik Eidus thread
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2010-April/000237.html
If his comment is correct, then there is no hope to use anything new.

Windows 64 bit will not work unless RHEL6 update its spice server
from 0.4.2-15 to whatever it would support QXL 0.6.x and above.
I don't know when that happen.  I guest I have to do the hard way
like I did for all of our Sun SPARC Solaris box.  That is setup RHEL 6
core OS only, build new Spice server from source, add dependecny
as needed, and hope it works :-)

Please, tell me that I am wrong and I don't need to do that :-)

Thanks

Ps. My plan is to write ALL document for SPICE Administrators.
So, yes, I will test them all for SPICE community.
