(I guess this question could go to Red Hat support as well if you are using

When I look for wmctrl on google, I find http://tomas.styblo.name/wmctrl/
which is a linux tool. Is this the tool you are talking about? If so, I
assume you are running it in the guest? The SPICE client you use should not
make a difference with respect to the guest windows management, is the
SPICE client you use the only difference with a setup where wmctrl works?
