About:
spice-gtk provides a GTK client library for interacting with SPICE servers. It enables remote desktop access with support for audio, USB redirection, and seamless clipboard sharing. This library is essential for building SPICE-based virtual machine clients.
Key Features:
  • GTK+ 3 client library
  • Audio input/output support
  • USB device redirection
  • Shared clipboard and file transfer
  • Smartcard authentication
Use Cases:
  • Building custom SPICE remote desktop clients
  • Enabling USB device passthrough in virtual machines

Alternatives:
  • virt-viewer – Provides a ready-to-use GTK client but spice-gtk offers libraries for custom client development
  • remmina – Multi-protocol client with SPICE plugin, but spice-gtk is the native SPICE implementation
