[Spice-devel] how can i trace monitor change (etc) events

Hi All:

I'd like to be able to trace all events going back and forth between 
spice server / client and also between Xorg driver (qxl) and spice 
server regarding monitor connect resize etc.

The reason for this is that I'd like to debug why gnome3 works in dual 
head setup but other desktop env don't (eg. mate desktop, fluxbox).

There must be something gnome3 desktop is doing via xrandr that is 
different - or perhaps it's an agent message that is being generated / sent.

Seems the minimum would be to trace:

* spice agent messages
* xrandr events in the guest
* the various "surfaces" (if that is the correct term) that the 
spice-server is managing.

Any pointers?
