[Spice-devel] [PATCH v2] Xspice: Don't set defaults for the options.

[Francois Gouget]

Otherwise they override Spice server's real builtin defaults, the Xorg configuration file settings, and even the XSPICE_XXX environment variables.
For instance, without this patch calling Xspice _without_ the '--streaming-video' option forces this setting to 'filter', overriding the XSPICE_STREAMING_VIDEO environment variable and the SpiceStreamingVideo spiceqxl.xorg.conf setting.
Note that this does not change the option defaults (the Xspice ones matched the spice server ones).
