Yep, it's a fairly new feature. I'm working on additional multi-monitor 
documentation and will be sure to include that.

I don't see anything obviously wrong with the configuration. If you
close the spice client and immediately re-connect does it still show
the same thing in both windows?

Can you capture the debug output of running virt-viewer with the --

That might give a clue about what's happening.
