Hi Jason, As far as I know, the console is accessed using the VNC or SPICE protocol, in other words, SPICE should be optional, if you use VNC protocal, SPICE isn't necessary. however, I'm not a virt-viewer developers, maybe, Daniel P.Berrange or other developers can confirm this.

I was wondering if "Require SPICE-GTK >= 0.6.0" for virt-viewer, is accurate, or is this optional.
