I was quite confused by this, so I've asked around and the confusion
remains :) I have no idea how the VNC fit into the picture, I didn't
know about it.

But a VNC console would be something outside of SPICE? Or not? You seem
to be saying the VNC console would be sent over a SPICE display
channel? That doesn't make much sense to me.

Cheers,
