I think the question I was raising was not whether Spice could

Spice really needed. IOW, would we get 99% of the way there with Xv
accelerated overlays and Xrender based compositing for VNC?
Suppose only 1% of spice is needed to support X. Given that we wish
to support Windows well, does it matter?
I understand X better than I understand Windows so it's easier for me
to understand things as they relate to X.
My original question was how much better is Spice support for Windows
than it is for X. If Spice is really designed for Windows and does
really well for it, that's great. I'm just trying to understand what
it's good for and what it's not good for.
Spice was in fact designed primarly for Windows. But given that
graphics cards were designed for Windows and X tries to support graphics
cards well, we should have a pretty good match. Offscreen bitmaps and
spice's client-side rendering model should work particularly well, I think.
