2. Spice-gtk-0.7 has been done for Oneiric as two builds.

GTK2 build performed with
./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-linux-gnu \
 --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info \
 --datadir=/usr/share \
 --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var \
 --libexecdir=/usr/bin \
 --with-python --disable-static --enable-introspection \
 --enable-smartcard=no \
 --with-gtk="2.0" --with-audio="pulse"

GTK3 build performed with
./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-linux-gnu \
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info \

--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var \
--libexecdir=/usr/bin \
--disable-static --enable-introspection \
--with-gtk="3.0" --enable-smartcard=no --with-audio="pulse"

3.Current version of spice-vdagent for Oneiric as KVM guest installs service and *.desktop (file) automatically and requires guest restart for activation or manual gdm restart and starting service.

4.As of 08/13/11 patched version of Oneiric's Libvirt allocating by default

Spice sessions. It doesn't affect your your VNC sessions.
