It does, if one pulls the one from Debian experimental (the one in
Debian unstable is not SPICE-enabled). And it thankfully does not need
to run as root to work,

$ virt-viewer --connect=qemu:///system <domainname>

does the job just fine. Even (ich6) sound works. However, scrolling
and moving windows flickers heavily. Is there any way to get rid of
the flicker?

Until Red Hat feels like releasing signed spice-guest-tools, I guess I
have to live with the "Test mode, Windows 7, Build 7601" in the lower
right corner of my screen, right?

Greetings
