Comment 1 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-05-16 13:41:36 UTC

I can reproduce with current virt-viewer-0.5.2-18.el6_4.2

This seems to be fixed upstream, at least since 0.5.6. not sure what fixed it, but probably some of Hans multi-monitor fixes, moving to POST, add dep on rebase bug,

# rpm -qa | grep spice
spice-xpi-2.7-22.el6.x86_64
spice-protocol-0.12.2-1.el6.noarch

spice-server-0.12.0-12.el6_4.1.x86_64
spice-gtk-python-0.14-7.el6.x86_64
spice-glib-0.14-7.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-devel-0.14-7.el6.x86_64
spice-client-0.8.2-15.el6.x86_64
spice-glib-devel-0.14-7.el6.x86_64
spice-vdagent-0.12.0-4.el6_4.1.x86_64

Result:
There are 4 forms, but the 3rd and 4th are all in the second monitor, so just can see 2 monitors with guest form, and the other 2 monirots are not used.
