Meanwhile libvirt got support for adding additional qemu command line 
switches to the domain xml, like this:

<domain type='qemu' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>
   [ ... usual stuff here ... ]
   <qemu:commandline>
     <qemu:arg value='-spice'/>
     <qemu:arg value='port=1234,disable-ticketing'/>
   </qemu:commandline>
</domain>

For the time being you have to use this (traditional wrapper scrips will 
work too of course).

Patches for real spice support have been posted on the libvirt list 
already, I'm sure this will be ready in time for F15.

Better virt-manager integration is on the TODO list as well.  The plan 
is to have a spice gtk widget which can easily be integrated into other 
applications.  virt-manager can use it then, pretty much like the vnc 
widget today.  I'd love to see that in F15 too, it is a bunch of work 
though ...

cheers,
   Gerd
