If SPICE is set up to use SASL for auth, some auth mechanism will need a
username (the plain text one and md5 ones for example). At the moment,
it's hardcoded to be g_get_user_name() in these situations. Last time
this was discussed, the proposed solution was for spice-gtk to indicate
that a username and a password is needed (ie have another error in
addition to SPICE_CHANNEL_ERROR_AUTH). See

Hope that helps,
