Ah ok, thanks for that, I thought you wanted to fix things on the macports
X side :) Since spice-gtk-x11 on osx isn't that interesting to me (I'd
rather have a more native port using gtk-osx), if it works with Apple X11,
I'd leave it at that :)

I wouldn't spend too much time on an Xcode project for spicec. It might be
useful for spice-gtk, but it might be too early for that. In my opinion,
what would be really nice is
* a working spice-gtk using gtk-osx (spice-gtk currently has X11/windows
  specific bits that needs to be ported)
* when we have that, having some kind of bundle that people can install to
  use in xcode would be great (I think the gtk-osx project has some tools
  to help in doing that)
* longer term, a cocoa spice client (probably using spice-client-glib for
  the low-level spice stuff) would be even better (I assume this would ease
  iOS porting)
