Hi,

I am not able to work with spice as expected - primary with cut'n past - 
usb-access I will test later.

With a windows (XP) guest I can do cut'n past with the Linux based 
workstation, but I am not able to do so with a Linux guest.

Topology: 
- A remote server based on Debian wheezy. The machine is only accessible via
  networt and has no graphical user interface. This server hosts virtual
  machines (qemu-kvm current version i.e.> 2.0).
- A workstation in another location also Debian wheezy based, with X11 and
  Trinity as desktop environment runs spicec to connect to the VMs.

The HowTo's in the internet let the followin questions open and I found no 
spice users maillist, so I ask on the developers list, even if it not the 
right place:
- What has to be install in the server to handle the connections between the
  workstation and the VMs?
- What has to be installed in the guest - I followed the description from
  http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/SPICE
- What has to be installed in the workstation additional to the spice-client,
  to establish connection between the server and the VM.

- How can I debug the named problems?

Many thanks for your help
Rolf
