Dear Uri,
I also found spice multiple monitors issue,it seems that it is related to spice client tools.
I configurated the guest with 2 monitor support via oVirt-engine.
when connect to guest use spicec, 2 monitor work well. when connect to same guest
use spicy,only primary monitor works.
I have glanced spice-gtk code, It seems that spice-gtk support multiple monitors.
would you please help to check this issue.
 
My test environment
oVirt engine:
ovirt-engine-3.2.1
spice-server:
spice-server-0.12.0-12
spicec:
spice-client-0.12.2-3
spicy:
spice-gtk-tools-0.20
spice-gtk-tools-0.19
guest:
Windows7 32bit
WindowsXP sp3 32bit.
 
Thanks.
Best Regards
