As the Xspice's description in Readme, i get that Xspice is a X server and spice server in one, running in guest os, but our team has developed a set of windows virtual desktop in which the spiceserver is deployed in HOST os linked with QEMU, and i think that is coordinated with the spice protocol.,

Dear Uri,


Thank you so so much for your mail , it's very important.


I started to learn Xspice because Our team are trying to find a solution to Linux virtual desktop. Today I created a Fedora guest OS and found there are already pre-installed vdagent and qxl driver in it. My spice client can connect to the server and logged into the guest, the most important part is the qxl dirver in guest is working, I think the Linux virtual desktop works, but i didn't do any Xspice thing,  i use the host used to hosting Windows guest. In my opinion spice client will be able to access to physical machine when an spice server package is installed, but what do we use Xspice for?  and what will setting environment variables for X server in the host and enabling video, mouse and keyboard driver(libspiceqxl_drv.so) help for?


It's a little long mail, many questions in my head. Anyway ,thank you Uri again:)
