+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1115986 +++
Description of problem:
When connection to spice-server fails, user is presented with unified error message "Unable to connect to the graphic server SPICE_URI". It would be nice to display the actual connection failure that spice-gtk gives, such as:
$ SPICE_PROXY=nonsense remote-viewer spice://localhost:5900/
(remote-viewer:2006): GSpice-WARNING **: Error resolving 'nonsense': Name or service not known
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-viewer-0.5.7-7.el7.x86_64
spice-gtk3-0.20-8.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run remote-viewer in a way that r-v will fail to connect
2.
3.
Actual results:
only generic message is presented to user in error dialog
Expected results:
a detailed error message from spice-gtk library is given to the user
Additional info:
spice-gtk error messages would appreciate some love as well in order to be useful to point to original connection failure but that might be another step after virt-viewer/remote-viewer displays stuff that is already available

In order to implement this feature in virt-viewer, we need to also backport some patches for spice-gtk (in particular, spice_channel_get_error(), which is not present in spice-gtk 0.22)
