In spice-gtk we are also sending 2K agent data messages and it is working fine,
maybe implementing websocket support for the spice server as it is mentioned in the TODO file could help.

My bad, fix: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2015-January/018600.html

I believe the problem is somewhere else as it is working with spice-gtk. 
The limit is checked in spice-server:
 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice/tree/server/agent-msg-filter.c#n43

I file RFEs or send patches, today.

Thanks a lot for the review,
