SASL GSSAPI module will try to negotiate authentication based on the
credentials in the default credentials cache. It does not matter if
SPICE knows username or not as SASL negotiation will pass through the
discovered name from the GSSAPI module.

so few lines above 'c->auth_needs_username = TRUE' is set, but it is ok to
ignore the missing username ? It is really confusing for me.

How does it affect info about auth failure provided by
spice_channel_failed_authentication() ?
If c->auth_needs_username is set, spice_channel_failed_authentication()
will tell that a username is required. This is certainly true -- if SASL
GSSAPI failed, username/password are indeed required. So it wouldn't be
a problem, at least from my reading of the code and tests with spicy
tool.

However, there is a problem with cases like virt-manager which assumes
there is only a password per channel required and never shows you a
request to enter username in case of SASL GSSAPI failure. When you enter
a password, the underlying code would complain that username is missing
but no way to enter username would be provided. This is virt-manager's
issue, not spice-gtk.
