Hey Rob,

The idea with XSpice is to run one Xorg process per user session. And 
that does work; I use it extensively.  There is not (yet) a seamless way 
to do this on Fedora.  I was just playing with this on Fedora 21, and 
it's still very fiddly, particularly with gdm. I found that if I 
modified /etc/gdm/custom.conf to enable xdmcp and set the ping interval 
to 0, then a
   XSpice -query localhost  <other parameters as needed>

seemed to work, although I had to set aside my play while it was still 
fairly fiddly.  I was hoping to get more time to play to write a little 
bit of apache fu to spin up a user session on demand, but I haven't 
gotten to it yet :-/.

Cheers,

Jeremy
