After some quick tests, this tool appears to be interesting. For other 
people discovering it like me, this is how I have done to use it on my 
linux distribution (Mageia 1 64 bits) :

Prerequisites : qemu-kvm 1.0, spice-protocol 0.10.1, spice 0.10.1 and 
spice-gtk 0.9 are already compiled and installed on my machine

To have spice available in remote-viewer :
# export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

# cd /somepath

DL from git repo :
# git clone http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=virt-viewer.git

# cd virt-viewer

Prepare :
# ./configure  --without-libvirt --with-gtk=2.0

You can then already test it on a local VM using spice on port 7777 :

# ./src/remote-viewer spice://localhost:7777


This tool solves the default size problem of spice-gtk and has a lot of 
nice features from spice-gtk (copy/paste of characters between host and 
guest) and VNC (sending keys like ctrl-alt-F1 or ctrl-alt-del).

Nice
