Note that:
  * link-local addresses (fe80::something) need interface designation (scope), e.g. fe80::aabb:ccff:fedd:eeff%eth0
  * remote-viewer sticks to uri scheme so ipv6 address needs to be enclosed in brackets (there was a bug clarifying it)
so the correct url for the example above should be:
spice://[fe80:20c:29ff:fe0a:2351%eth0]:5901/

There used to be another bug about scope being stripped from the uris in glib, I'm not sure about its status in .el6 though.
