I tried spice while I was testing SL 6.1 a few months back. This is a
'quick and dirty' way of setting it up:

yum install spice-server, spice-client, and libguestfs-tools on the
kvm host. They should pull other required packages.

In virt-manager, edit a guest config:

- add "Display SPICE"
- remove "Display VNC"
- change the video mode to "qxl"

If no GUI, you can edit these by 'virsh edit <guest>' as well.

Start the guest.

Connect to it with a 'spicec -h localhost -p <port>'.

Hope this helps,

Akemi
