The spice-glib API is pretty decent IMHO (and documented!), just very high
level.
Feedback from the spice library folks when I initially discussed the
limitations of the library and the possible need for us to implement our own
was that spice is complex and doing so is not recommended.

Fair enough - I'll take your word (and theirs) on this and try to re-focus on
using the spice-glib library. My experience thus far is that, yes,
documentation is high-level for most things, and completely lacking for some
things (for example, using the spice_session_open_fd() function it tells you
that you need to capture the "open-fd" channel event...and that's about it).

The library seems to provide mechanisms for handling the connection process and
providing our own file descriptors. Perhaps we could:
# Hook into low-level communication by providing our own file descriptors.
# Filter the data coming through those file descriptors, interpreting only the
small subset of spice messages needed to add context to dirty rects.

Okay, I'll head in this direction and see what I can come up with. If you dig
up the code you had working, let me know - seems like it would be helpful in
uncovering some things you may have already been through so I don't have to
completely repeat history (though it'd probably be a valuable experience for
me).
