So far, that's expected, but it should require only one password prompt
for each console.

That's my case, using SPICE for guest consoles.

While now I understand why all those password prompts, that's very bad
from a usability perspective. And I guess it's also bad from a network
perspective (having multiple TCP connections for the same interative
remote user session). Couln't all SPICE channels be multiplexed on the
same TCP connection, and so use the same SSH connection?
