 Hello Victor,
Appreciate very much your feedback!
Indeed a bit sad with this de-support of spice-gtk, came also across https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2030592 which talk about this and some workarounds.Used hints from Jean-Marc Liger and Aram Minasyan from that bug thread and solved the problem in my side.

Thanks for the hints and your replay in general :)

All the best,Iacob

RHEL 9.2 does not have spice-gtk. You should raise this request
to Oracle Linux 9.2 and see if they want to support it.

I'd recommend fetching rpm sources (e.g: from fedora) and doing
the build + installation.

Not much more I can help you with it, sadly.

Ah, using some flatpak with SPICE would be another alternative.

Cheers,
