I have no idea how SPICE performs now, but there's definitely
nothing in a modern X Windows desktop that it cannot deal with. The
only negative point it might have compared to Windows is IMO the
rendering of text.
I think the question I was raising was not whether Spice could handle
X, but that given the things you can do with X, is all of Spice
really needed. IOW, would we get 99% of the way there with Xv
accelerated overlays and Xrender based compositing for VNC?
Suppose only 1% of spice is needed to support X. Given that we wish to
support Windows well, does it matter?
