IMHO libraries have no business creating logfiles of their own
accord. It should be entirely in the control of applications
using the libraries to decide on logging policy.

For virt-viewer you can enable debugging of various areas with
flags --spice-gtk-debug, --gtk-vnc-debug and --debug. There are
also env variables which can control logging in newer GLib
versions
