It means that the client didn't receive 2 motion acks. I didn't design
that part of the protocol, but I suppose it so to avoid introducing
lag/latency in inputs. If the input channel is "slow", we drop a bit
of mouse motion events, and let the server catch up until we received
new acks.

So if the server is slow or hanging, you'll most likely get this
message. In theory, the ack messages are indepedent of the agent, as
they are handled directly by spice server (before the event is
forwarded to the agent or handled by a tablet etc..). But I might miss
a more complex case.

Feel free to give us more details on how you reached that warning.
