I just tried:
 xorg-x11-server-Xspice-0.0.21-16.fc17.x86_64

It works with spicec, spicy, remote-viewer
 spice-client-0.10.1-1.fc17.x86_64
 spice-gtk-tools-0.11-2.fc17.x86_64
 virt-viewer-0.5.2-1.fc17.x86_64

There is a fixed bug I need to respin Xspice for (up/down keys not
working correctly) but other then that, it connects, works - I run icewm
and gimp on that for testing.

I would gladly look at any backtrace.

I run it with:
Xspice :10.0 --port 15000 --disable-ticketing --tls-port 0

Then I set DISPLAY=:10.0 and run a window manager etc.

I'm working on getting the agent working with it (copy&paste, client
side mouse). I have intentions (the precursor to plans) to make it work
with wayland (that would probably require a more direct connection with
spice-server and not a reuse of xf86-video-qxl).
