Thanks Itamar - thats very useful information

Ill try and find information on how to "set a password"
Its basically a bog standard installation - is there no password normally? Is 
the password required only for connecting to the console via the command line 
spicec client?
How does the IE/Firefox spice plugin work in this case - as it doesnt prompt 
for any passowrd..

I would have assumed that the console session (weather using spice or vnc) 
would load with no password - similar to how console sessions work in vSphere, 
KVM and proxmox (which also uses vnc)

The jittery mouse - yes i was rdp-ing to my windows VM to load IE.. ill ty it 
from a physical windows machine

With my other question - how would you determine which VM you are "consoling" 
if there are more than 1 on a hypervisor.

Cheers
Spyro

to cover your first question, yes, spice-xpi works well for me from a 
fedora 15 machine using default spice packages of fedora.

you need to set the password to connect to spice (just like for VNC).
since it by default expires after a while, it is called a ticket.
you can use the rest API/SDK/CLI to set the ticket.

as for mouse being jittery in IE - do you happen to use it via an RDP 
session (if so, try not to nest clients).
