Alternatively, you could open a new issue here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-protocol/-/issues But to be honest, I wouldn't expect anyone to take it up anytime soon. I don't know how these patches have aged since the time I published them, but I assume that there will be some issues with Wayland (both on the client and guest side). The main problem is probably the design itself. spice-gkt/virt-viewer shows a single fullscreen window that is partially transparent (in the areas where there's no guest window). This results in a poor integration with the client's system -- what you'd want is to have a new window in the client for each window/application on the guest and separate drawing contexts for each app. The original thread goes into more detail on the issues, I think. So the patches would probably require a lot of further work, or complete rewrite. I would be happy to have this feature as well, but the chances are imho slim, sorry.
