Doc Text:
The QXL driver for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 was not able to cache images on the client side. This led to visible and significant impact on user experience (users could have experienced delays when loading images contained in web presentations or slideshows). With this update, images can be optionally cached on the client side.

I installed xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.14-12.el6_2 on a 6.3 guest. I could not get
the "CACHE_ME" to show up in the spice packets. I used a Windows7 VM with
qxl-win-0.1-14 installed and had no problem with seeing the "CACHE_ME" in the
packets.

Putting back to assigned.

I installed xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.0.14-13.el6_2 and now see the  DRAW_COPY packets that have the CACHE_ME and FROM_CACHE flags in the Image Descriptor.
