[Spice-devel] SPICE client for unmanaged X

[Brad Campbell]

G'day all,

I'm after some advice on a spice client I could use on unmanaged X.

I have a client machine with 3 heads. What I would like is to be able to 
do is access a spice server and have the three heads appear on my client 
like they are native. As an example, this is the way I do it with it on 
a single head machine and vnc.

xinit /usr/bin/xtightvncviewer -bgr -fullscreen -passwd 
$HOME/.vnc/passwd xx.vm.home -- :2 -layout Secondary

So this starts a new X server, and sparks up a vncviewer instance that 
has full use of the monitor. Ideally I'd like to do the same with 
multi-head machines.

At the moment I'm running Xmonad on Debian as a client, this allows me 
to auto-map the 3 spice windows to the 3 monitors, but I have issues 
with the client hotkeys clashing with the server hotkeys for window 
management. If I could remove the window-manager and have a multi-head 
spice client just use all three heads fully I'd eliminate this issue.

I currently use spice-gtk as a client. Is there a better client (I don't 
use USB pass through or audio) that might allow me to do what I want to 
do? Has anyone got any pointers to examples?

Regards,
Brad
